Disciplemaking

18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” --Matt.28:18-20

We had a baptism for several students this past Sunday. So much to say at this point, but where to start? I with start my Father's command, to teach how to model that abiding life Christ calls us to. I post this not to show, but to remind each of us what one of our primary purposes on this planet is: to make disciples, baptize them, and teach them. That's what the church is about. All the rest is fodder and for the flames. How long does the proverbial baptismal pool remain empty? (Yes I said proverbial and baptismal pool in the same sentence!) Whether it's a lake, a river, or a beach--where's the wonderful celebration happening in every church on every corner? Pray for many to be sent to "go". Will that be you today, for someone, somewhere, God intended for you? I'm really convicted that it doesn't happen enough in our ministry. Just let me be the first to bear the weight of responsibility. Friends, God willing, and God has promised, more will come into the kingdom! Who's wants to be next in joining our Great God in that process? Sign me up!
