How Do You Know If You Have Made A Disciple

According to the "Great Comission" we are not to win converts, but make disciples. How do we know if we have made a disciple? How do we know if we have been discipled? The answer lies in the Great Commission itself. Jesus said in Matthew 28:19-20, "Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing then in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you..."
To disciple someone then is to teach them the commands of Christ. This would go along with what Peter said when he told us to add to our faith, virture, and to virtue, knowledge. (See 2 Peter 1:5). If we teach knoweldge before building virture we bring pride to the life of the disciple since knowledge "puffs" up (makes one proud). Teaching the commands of Christ builds the character of Christ in one's life.

The Secrets Of Jonathan Sperry

Sunday night our church showed the movie, "The Secrets Of Jonathan Sperry." I really enjoyed this movie. There is not a lot of action if you are looking for that, but the lessons taught are excellent. It was good to show a movie that demonstrates how the elder can influence the younger. I highly recommend this movie. You can check it out at www.sperrymovie.com.
The DVD will be released in a couple of months. Since, our church showed the movie we will be able to purchase copies for a discount ($15.00).

I thought I would put some on here and make practical applications for our lives. I hope you check back here often. I pray that we can all be fed some fodder. I welcome your "feedback".
