To make disciples, not just converters

By Alonso Arauz
Director of  Hope Evenings Ministries
Jesus trained a handful of ordinary people to follow him as He established God's Kingdom on earth, His primary training method was intimate. Personal conversations an a friend to friend basis. As they walked along in the daily routine of the life.
He taught them the parctical principles of the kingdom. He then commissioned them to go and make disciples of all nations by teaching others what they walked along.
Today, we are making just believers who sings, pray, attend to the church every Sabbath and that s all. We are not forming disciples for the great commission.
Churches today have millions of believers but the majority of then are not disciples.
We are involved in a comfort atmosphere.. Our sermons look for making well to our people. That s the biggest problem in our times.
To make disciples is more than having members in the church. It s the compromise to share with them, even to live with the new believers, ir order to teach them the truths of the kingdon.
God hleps us to make disciples. To accept that we are doing something bad, not making disciples and just demanding them to be simple converters.
