A New Article from Daniel

Should We Leave Church Behind?

After this interview, Daniel was stirred to elaborate on his observation in an email exchange with a pastor. As a result you can read more about these stirrings that has prompted Daniel to ask, "Should We Leave Church Behind?". Here is a sample:

Over these past months, I have been sensing profound change in the near future for the Church. As pleased as I am with the way in which we did church when I pastored for 22 years, I know with certainty I would pastor/lead differently today. Too many things have changed in our world. God is the Maker of seasons, and He advises His people to use different harvesting approaches for...

Today's Devotion

Year for Discipleship

Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Matthew 28:19-20

The directive is very simple: make disciples—pupils who follow after and act upon every word of the Master, Jesus Christ. In all we say or do personally, it is important to keep reminding ourselves of this, our primary mission in life. As a congregation, too, all our activities and enterprises must ultimately focus on this one objective.

The month of January is devoted to reviewing the foundational principles and prophetic words to us, not so that we can dwell on the past or look for a repeat of what God has done in the past year, but so that we can have a more settled sense of the new season of change and challenge we are entering.  Discipleship is a constant in the Kingdom of God, but the ways in which we carry out that mandate vary from spiritual season to season.

I have felt a growing eagerness and enthusiasm to make more disciples of Christ Jesus. I want to live and teach in a way that is even more impactful of others than ever before. While I do not yet know all the ways or the formats this heightened sense of discipling is going to take, I want to ask Jesus what He is saying to me about discipling and being discipled.

Pamela has said that she does not want to stay the same; she wants to be greatly changed; she wants to become even more of a disciple of Jesus than she already is. What I particularly love about her testimony Is the fact that she was the one who made it. Anyone who knows her would agree that Pamela has been given much wisdom, love, grace and discernment by the Lord. The fact that she wants to be changed and discipled more reveals a beautiful and poignant truth to us all: no matter how far we have come or how much we have grown in God’s Kingdom, there always awaits, for those who want it, greater progress and growth.

Oh, I want to become a better disciple who more fully follows the Lord, understands His heart and is ready to teach everything that I have learned.
