What's Needed?

Ours is a world in need, a nation in need, and a community in need. 

You may ask, "In need of what?"

I think I know: "Apprentices of Jesus, that's what."

In Chapter Seven of Hugh Halter's Tangible Kingdom, you'll find these words.

"If you would have asked some of the first disciples what it was like being one of Jesus' students, they probably would have responded with, 'He always tested our faith and our motives. He always took us to places we wouldn't have gone ourselves. We became friends with people we would have hated before. Looking back, it was the most wildly transforming process I could have ever imagined. I'll never be the same.'"

Hugh goes on to write,

"Discipleship for the disciples was different from our idea in one major way. It actually involved following Jesus where he went and doing what he did."

The world is standing on tip-toe, looking for disciples of Jesus who are trained in action, not just in theory. Our world, and our lives, will change when our discipleship becomes apprenticeship again.

Become a world-changer. We start this Monday.

Matthew 5:1  -  When Jesus saw his ministry drawing huge crowds, he climbed a hillside. Those who were apprenticed to him, the committed, climbed with him.
