'There is no other life-changing process on earth more
powerful for the life of a believer than discipleship. All authority was
given to all members of the Christian community to make disciples,
not just the pastors, deacons, and elders of a church. The only way the
Church is going to change the world for Christ is if all followers of
Christ exercise their authority as disciple makers.'
Man this book is really great!! I start to see things a little more clearer as I get closer to the 40 days. It might be a GOD thing that as I am being discipled that the Discipleship Dare is moving right along with me...I feel the LORD knew that the process for a guy like me, real world-like, would be a slow process. Just like Jess speaks of in this chapter.
All I know as of right now, that I feel God gave me a missionary calling, a missionary heart. God has told me to be the opposite of what I trained myself to be in the World....Completely. This calling definitely goes along with receiving Jesus' authority to reproduce the life of Christ in others. I'm committed to being discipled and excepting challenges by Jesus Christ to learn more about Gods word and grow spiritually. So I can do God's work, In His Way.
