In our modern church culture, especially in America, we've lost the viability of what it means to lead someone in "the way," which is what Christian's were known as in the decade just after Christ's ascension, "the way". How Christianity was done back then, would really work today, and in fact is the only thing that has ever worked, except, we reject it today, because it's hard. Here is the truth, Christianity is built on friendship- you can say what you want, argue all you want, but you will eventually gnaw on this bone, Jesus had twelve friends- and even one of them wasn't worth much, except to Caiaphas and the crew who wanted Christ taken out. So how many friends do you have? This is my singular point, we're not talking about associates here, we've got loads of those, we're talking about friends, people you eat with, argue with and party with? Good and bad times; people, have twelve you can count? Better get busy then, because, the model is real, we know that, and the command is also real- "make disciples," Jesus wasn't kidding, and he had twelve, my sense is He gave His life that I'd strive to achieve more. Can I count you as...one?
