7 Discipleship Principles
-
Principle of Ministry. Ministry happens when God, you, and the world intersect. Understanding each positions but does not empower you for ministry. The Holy Spirit does that.
-
Principle of Growth. Growth happens as we embrace pain and challenge. If a relationship or situation is difficult, then it is God’s tool to produce growth in you.
-
Principle of Balance. Balance is essential. Why? Because discipleship is a complex, multifaceted activity that is at best poorly understood through models. Models oversimplify.
-
Principle of Passion. Passion is essential. Why? Because God asks us for it. “You will find me when you seek me with all your heart.”
-
Principle of Kingdom. God wants us to build His kingdom. He commanded us to “Go and make disciples of all nations.”
-
Principle of Exposure– You become like what you are exposed to.
-
Principle of Cognition – You become what you think about.
Powerful thank you for the word
Its really a blessed n encouraging one
Oh gosh Seth this is good stuff!!
my heart is especially tugged on with the last two…principles of exposure and principles of cognition.
our recent college grad was exposed to “world views” the last 4 years, not godly ones and she became a non believer before our eyes. Its so true what you say and now our battle has begun against a strong enemy, BUT luckily our God is stronger!
Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks for the encouragement, Sissy. God sees your heart and hears your prayers.
Thank you very much the motivational info.God bless you.
To stimulate thoughts – enter into a conversation the 7 DPs hit the mark- that said at times simplicity can be a deterrent lack depth and leave the reader unfulfilled –
Thanks Charles
