So today we had a long meeting on discipleship. We have been thinking and trying ways to help people come into more meaningful discipleship/membership/baptism. We called together a group that has been talking about these things in individual ways. We were all already of one mind as far as looking for ways to bring people into the faith and help them grow into more and more Christ-likeness.
Well, it was all good stuff-- we had prepped in advance to talk about the Order of Salvation. So we were all talking some good stuff about Methodism, not what passes for church in Methodist churches. Anyway... in comes Savannah and Shelly, who we invited because Savannah is recommitting herself to faith and Shelly is seeking. They added this crucial dimension. One thing that has held us back is the feeling that we should not ask too much of members. But Savannah and Shelly said that faith in Jesus was too serious to take lightly.
The Church needs to roll that up and smoke it.
