For me, every day should be a day of discipleship! What does that mean?

The way Christians “make disciples” has changed drastically from the first century. Today Christians rarely even used the word disciple. Instead, they sit in rows, passively hear a weekly lecture, and then go home to the same ole lifestyle while believing that they’ve just experienced New Testament Christianity.

Discipleship is the ongoing activity of passionately pursuing, focusing on, interacting with, and obeying the risen Jesus. It’s an unearned privilege made available by the grace of God through Jesus’ sacrificial death on the Cross. True Christianity never fails, but it is often abandoned and replaced with routine religion.

Discipleship isn’t just hearing a message. It’s being a messenger who testifies to and personally demonstrates the new life in Christ throughout each day.

True discipleship is much more than routine religion. It’s rich revelation that ever burns in your heart and demonstrates itself through your attitude, words, and behavior.

Biblical discipleship freely flows with God’s supernatural inner flow of rivers of living water as Christ-followers gather to all be led by the Spirit. (See 1 Corinthians 14:26.) It doesn’t shut down the Spirit’s inner flow with a programmed religious show. It trains people to continually listen to and obey the Spirit, not just to sit for a religious talk.

Real discipleship
Isn’t being spoon fed
By a weekly message.
It’s being Spirit-led
By Christ alive in you.
