The Relevant Disciple

Wednesday Night at The Revolution (Youth Bible Study) was awesome. We had 1 teenager accept Christ and 3 others make a decision to follow Christ with a closer walk. Over that last few weeks the group has come together in a special way. But the question remains, where do we go from here and how do we get their? The answers are not as simple as the questions. The real work begins now for all of us who lead these teenagers. We must be willing to sacrifice more time, more effort, and more love! We can not stand still or things will go back to the way in which they were and I for one do not want to see that.
So, where do we go from here? We go to Christ and His word. We look for places to be involved in ministry. We search our hearts for the truth and focus on that rather than the pleasures of the heart. At this point we must go forward. The best place to start is by sharing our faith with our friends and family members. Letting others know what God is doing in our lives. This does not mean that we have all the answers, it simply means that we are willing to share what we do know and we know that God is working with in us. It is of utmost importance that we continue what God started. Scripture is clear in Matthew 28:16-20, that we are to share the gospel and to disciple those in whom we come in contact with and I think we begin their and focus on that for the rest of our lives because that is our mission. 2009 has started with great growth and I pray the it ends with greater growth. I will do my best to help these students become more focused on Christ and better equipped to fight that battle. Will you help with that or be in the way?

God Bless
