View on Vocaroo >> Why laugh? 🤣 Heard a short on the joy of the Lord is our strength? Made me remember, that is recount, which in working with learners (disciples), is the time to recertify, which is an old but very true Newspaper writer saying: "Tell them, then tell them what you told them, then tell them once more memorably." Huh? How do you make a three time repeat interesting? Remember your first...? 🤣 In my pretty boring, unexciting, calm life; I've been fired lots of times. Sometimes it was on me, sometimes, it was on them- now, watch this one- it's gonna getcha, sometimes it was on God. Ooh that'll make some folk getonup😆But watch this: Jhn 9:1 - And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. Tools Jhn 9:2 - And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, th...
As you've no doubt noticed, these encouragement memos, drop off as my schedule gets consumed. Bet that happens to you? One my favorite movies is "Mr. Hollands Opus" One my favorite quotes when the Dean would be telling me to conform or be out of a job is: "Life is what happens when you're doing other things." And the insight in that sentence ought give even the strongest of you, pause. Honestly I've whined, prayed, ranted, and pretty much had a "Go ahead and discipline me King Jesus," Jonah type conversation over the Lord laying His Bent Knee Tribe in my heart. Feel enormously inadequate, and that's where He starts laughing; I love to hear Jesus laugh; and love His loving us, He whispers, "Go Dana, make disciples..." What my heart feels toward you of the tribe can't be adequately expressed, you pray- most of you, more than once a day, most of you, a lot! Thank God for you, for your loving Him. Saw the strange connect the vers...
As we look deeper into discipling, let's think on the essence of what it means. First it's personal, which means, the mask comes off. Now that doesn't mean losing your mind. Don't misunderstand, read Amos 3:3 carefully. Personal mostly means you care. Touch- it takes guts- it ain't fun- in fact I'll promise you, the love you expand in your soul toward Jesus and your 4 disciples- Huh? 4? Oh oh, you ain't found 'em yet? Know why? That love will cost you. Here you go, Peter Sillence Fleming, hmm...not a name you're familiar with. Don't misunderstand, discipling means taking them back to Jesus- back to Jesus, why do I say it that way, because, that's why we have brothers and sisters in Christ. In Christ- note that, in Christ- you take your disciples to Christ. That's the task- when Jesus talks in Matthew about His command the so euphemizied great commission- so misquoted, so missused, so mishandled; He said "Since you're going an...
