The Great Commission

Today's QT was titled the "Last Commandment," but we usually say "The Greatest Commandment is to Love God and Love Your Neighbors", and "The Great Commission Is to Go Make Disciples of All Nations"... just a little thought...

Anyhow, the last commandment was to go make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of God, the Son, and the Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything...

And the SENA asks us a few specific questions, one of which is always a challenge, sort of like a self-check question: Am I simply a church "attendee", or am I truly a "disciple"? I am not to be a simple church go-er; instead a disciple of God... and I think one of the things that distinguishes a disciple from an attendee, is the question: Am I going out there and making disciples?

The way Christ started His ministry was exactly that: he discipled twelve, and the history showed that most of his disciples went on ahead to change the world...
I call myself His disciple, then am I following His ways? Am I making disciples? If not, why not?
