Discipleship

Disciples making disciples is what the Great Commission is all about (Mt.28:18-20). Consequently, it is what most churches would say that they are all about. But like prayer and Bible study, it is so hard to stay focused and persevere. The enemy sets out a scheme in spiritual battle to defeat churches in the area of DMD just like he fights individuals in their prayer lives. So, a church has to be extremely intentional in the discipleship of new believers. The church has to have laser-like focus so the discipling of the new believer stays on course. We must be intentional in every age group. We can't just throw a Bible at a new believer and say, "good luck." A four week study just doesn't do it either. Our success in discipling new believers could be summed up like this: Intentional-Distractions=How we are really doing in Discipleship. Is your church intentional about growing new christians? Are you focused on this, and are you removing the distractions as best you can? Have you taken the time to evaluate how you really are doing in the Disciples Making Disciples arena?
