The Greek verb mathéteuó is “to be a disciple” or “to make a disciple.” How does it apply to you?
- I am being discipled
- I am making disciples
- Both of the above
- Neither of the above
Disciple as a verb includes growing in knowledge of God’s Word and developing the lifestyle it requires. Being discipled implies you are continuously studying the Scripture and putting it into practice.
Putting it into practice includes passing it on.
Being a disciple, making disciples–you can’t have one without the other.
I used to say that I’d disciple,
and help other grow in faith
before the muzzle of my rifle;
thus, they did what I doth saith.
But since, I’ve learned another road
to bring the sinners to the light;
as black-belt in Tae Kwon Do,
I challenge ratbags to a fight.
When done, I will not hesitate
to hear excuses for their sins
but usually I have to wait
until they’re conscious once again.
I know this was the right decision
’cause of what I’ve saved on ammunition.
Your words are your ammunition, Andrew. They bear both punch and light.
