“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them...” (Matthew 28:19)
Followers of Jesus were commanded to make disciples.
Disciples
not members,
not converts,
not decisions,
not friends,
not admirers,
not voters.
Not supporters or donors or associates,
not advisors or assistants or helpers or counselors,
not critics or groupies.
Not pupils or customers, buddies, pals, or imitators,
not defenders, volunteers, temps, guests, visitors,
not hostesses, representatives, agents, or fans.
"Make disciples" Jesus said. We were not sent
to make people religious nor to talk them into praying a magic prayer or to
"like my Jesus”.
We were sent to warn people that this lovely planet is the Titanic with an expiration date, and that the only way off is by the Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ, our only Savior.
Go ye – yes, me/ you/ us...
