the answer is...

The answer is -

Spirit lead, Word of God based, Jesus Christ focused discipleship

The question is -

What is missing from the body of Christ today?

Looking at the following scriptures from the book of Acts, Saul (soon to be Paul) shortly after his conversion to faith in the risen Lord Jesus, already has ‘disciples’! When we look at the body of Christ today we seem to be missing this component. We are all, as believers in Christ Jesus, called to disciple in the power of the Spirit, using the Word of God, standing firm on the foundation which is Jesus Christ the Lord. It is not just the role of the pastor or the Sunday school teacher to disciple.....it is the calling of each and every believer - we are all called to go and make disciples!

Acts 9:23-25 And when many days had elapsed, the Jews plotted together to do away with him, but their plot became known to Saul. And they were also watching the gates day and night so that they might put him to death; but his disciples took him by night, and let him down through an opening in the wall, lowering him in a large basket

our righteousness

Our righteousness comes through the power of God by His saving grace which is the gospel....
and it is only by FAITH that we can live a righteous life before God......

For I am not ashamed of the gospel,
for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "But the righteous man shall live by faith."
Romans 1:16,17

Be Still

As I come into Your presence Lord
May I be still before You

As I bow down before You Lord
May I be still before You

As I listen to Your voice Lord
May I be still before You

As I lift my petitions to You Lord
May I be still before You

As I start this new day Lord
May I be found faithful because I was still before You

And may Your glory shine through me
That You will be exalted


Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
Psalm 46:10

leaving Eden

We are all leaving Eden…
This world is not our home…and the vapor that is this life is quickly passing us by…
And this world is filled with trials and tribulations…for sin abounds and the evil one prowls…
Are you preparing for home…a grace and truth dispenser emptied for the lost…
We are all leaving Eden…one more step each day…
One more step away from this world…one step closer to home…
And there is no place like home…
