My challenge to you,
then…
The conclusion of the matter, then, is this: that discipleship is grossly underemphasized within the American church because Christians have bought in to many popular American cultural philosophies and ideals. We must return to a Biblical and holistic view of discipleship. Not only must we return to this view of discipleship, but we must also return to practicing this discipleship within the body of Jesus Christ.
We must all find someone to disciple: teaching them everything we know about God and exposing them to the presence of God in our lives. We must also submit to being discipled by others: allowing them to teach us about God and expose us to the presence of God in their lives.
Discipleship is not a program. It’s an every day thing. With everyone we meet, we are discipleship minded. In everything we do, we are discipleship minded. Everywhere we go, we are discipleship minded. Of course, this really just comes down to living a life centered on the lordship of Jesus Christ. It is His command, after all, by which we disciple those we meet.
I would like to thank you for reading this book. My hope is that we can soon begin the process of discipleship as it should be. I even believe that, if taken seriously, discipleship, correctly done, will impact greatly the course of, not only American history, but also the history of the entire world. What each of us does matters. Let us change this world, day by day. Let us impact lives, day by day. Let us live according to God’s will, day by day.
It’s an every day thing
