Discipleship by Doing

How are you becoming a Disciple?

“‘Come, follow me,’ Jesus said.” (Matthew 4:19)

How does someone become a disciple of Jesus? Read the Bible and Pray. Right? How many people do you know who read the Bible and pray, and live like the Grinch who Stole Christmas.

Discipleship is not about stagnant learning. Discipleship is about learning in Motion. Discipleship by Doing.

There is one young family in our church who are reading through the Gospels together. In reading they were convicted by Jesus’ reaction to the poor and underserved. They are now investigating what they can do to help the homeless that God keeps bringing across their path. That’s Discipleship by Doing.

I contend that what most Christians need is not a fill in the blank study that fills them up with knowledge, but a study that compels them to compassion, to commitment, to conviction, to action.

I don’t want TrueLife Church to be like a great halftime speech without playing the rest of the game. Study to Serve & Pray to Move (I could not think of a word that started with “P”. I broke the alliteration. LOL)
