For quite some time now, I have been thinking about Jesus’ great commission to “go and make disciples” (Matthew 28:19). The thoughts of teaching someone else got me to thinking about my own beliefs, if anything’s incorrect, if anything needs tweaked, if I have what it takes to bring someone else up in the faith. Truth be told, I was wondering how strong my own foundation is. Growing up on a pew doesn’t necessarily mean all the bases are covered. Do I have gaps?
Have you ever given being a disciple much thought? Do you know what one is? I think the simplest definition I have come across is a disciple is one who becomes like his teacher (or master) and spreads the teachings of said teacher.
Maybe, like me, you have been a follower of Jesus for a long time. Maybe you are a new convert or know one. Maybe you are curious about the Christian faith and whether or not it is relative to you. If so, we’re in luck, for I came across a discipleship evangelism course. One of the “new things” that I’ve been kicking around is sharing my bare bones version, here at God’s Word Girl, as I go through the course. I want to continue to incorporate stories where applicable because, well, that’s what Jesus did. Plus, it makes learning much more interesting, don’t you think?
Now that I’ve shared the inner thoughts of my heart, I hope that you will consider joining me and perhaps invite a friend. Journeys are all the more pleasant when shared with others.
