Discipleship is the process of producing reproducing followers of Christ. In II Timothy Paul teaches from jail. He doesn't need a pulpit to preach from. He is on death row, which he is eventually killed, for following Jesus. He teaches Timothy and other people about the joy of the Lord from JAIL!?! Amazing what he did. In Phillipians ch. 1, "These situations that I am going through are so i can put God on display that i might magnify Him, that i might show Him off... these situations are only temporary." He teaches that discipleship is able to be done by everyone in any circumstance. Discipleship is something that is very portable and you can take it anywhere. Everyone is different, so there is no direct way to disciple someone. But Look at is like a sketch book. A sketch book has the framework of what the picture is supposed to look like but we all color in different colors. One things you always hear is "don't color outside the lines." This is just like discipleship, in that as long as the teaching are correct and the foundation is laid down, it doesn't matter what "color," political view, race, denomination, we are but the beliefs are the same. We "don't go outside the lines" just like we don't want to blur the image of Christ. Be strong in wherever you are in your walk and become fishers of men. Have a wonderful Thursday... this week is flying BYE BYE!!!!
