This book was released on 2017-04-17 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, we have many ways of defining success in life. Some define it as being a sports hero, others as being wealthy, others as being popular and well liked, and still others as being happy. How does God define success? He defines it as being spiritually mature! How do we become spiritually mature? There’s only one way, and it’s called discipleship. However, statistics show that discipleship is in a state of crisis today. Many Christians are not growing in Christ and are stuck in the process of reaching spiritual maturity. A Barna study reveals that almost nine out of ten senior pastors of Protestant churches assert that spiritual immaturity is one of the most serious issues facing the church. Sadly, what discipleship meant in the time of Christ and what it means today is vastly different. Moreover, the importance Christ and the Apostles gave to discipleship is also stunningly different than the importance many Christians and churches today give it. Unlike the disciples who had much of Scripture memorized, a whopping 81% of Christians today don’t read their Bibles regularly. Unlike Christ’s disciples who were “Fishers of Men,” 61% of believers today have not shared their faith in the past six months. And sadly, unlike Christ and the Apostles who made discipleship the central focus of their ministries, 81% of pastors today have no regular discipleship programs in their churches. Discipleship is being neglected today, and the consequences are crippling many Christians and churches. This book hopes to change that! Chapter 1 focuses on the state of discipleship today and exposes the sad truth that it’s in crisis mode. Chapter 2 reveals 13 key factors contributing to the lack of discipleship today. Chapter 3 defines biblical discipleship based on central phrases Christ used in His ministry. Chapter 4 brings to light 14 essential components of the discipleship-making process that must be understood and practiced in order to attain spiritual maturity. Chapter 5 provides practical, “how-to” help for growing in Christ. It includes self-assessment tests for measuring your level of spiritual maturity in each essential component of discipleship and gives hands-on, useful ideas for taking steps toward spiritual maturity. Discipleship is a command for all believers and is our highest calling. This book provides biblical help for fulfilling this calling and seeks to discover what God says about genuine growth in Christ. It’s both an informative book and a “how-to” book. It deals with the barriers that are hindering discipleship, and offers practical help for overcoming these barriers and attaining spiritual maturity. So, are you ready to grow? Would you like to be pleasing to God? Would you like to fulfill the reason for which you’ve been created? Would you like the full blessings of God in your life? Would you like to become spiritually mature? Would you like to hear Christ’s words, “Well done, good and faithful servant,” when you arrive in heaven? If so, this book is for you.

Download or read book Growing in Discipleship written by Rev. Daniel Dapaah and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2024-08-19 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary responsibility of the church, its raison d'etre, is to make disciples by sharing the "good news" of salvation and teaching believers to grow in maturity in Christ (Matt 28:16-20; 1 Cor 3:2-3; 14:20). What does it mean to grow in discipleship and maturity in Christ? What are the required ingredients for such growth and maturity to occur? Answers to both questions are provided in the book you're about to read. Growing in Discipleship is wide-ranging in scope, from biblical studies to systematic theology, focusing on a sample of fundamental doctrines of the Christian faith. The book is written for both new and old believers who are seeking a deeper engagement with and understanding of the good news of salvation in Christ. Daniel Dapaah has broken down the complex theological concepts to present them in a concise and accessible format to readers who have no background in biblical studies. Beginning seminarians will also find this book useful. But true discipleship is more than an intellectual assent to the doctrines of the church. It is also a personal commitment to the life and teachings of Christ. It involves growing spiritually to reflect the image of Christ (Latin, Imago Dei). The book includes an "Individual or Group Exercise" guide at the end of each chapter, focusing on sample questions from the study, a "Personal Application" for reflection, and a "Commitment" to grow and mature in Christ through the enabling power of the Holy Spirit. This book is a useful resource for individual and group Bible study.

Download or read book What Is the Gospel and How to Share It written by Dr. Todd M. Fink and published by Selah Book Press. This book was released on 2020-03-11 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soon after the gospel was first preached, attacks from the Jews, non-believers, Satan, and worldly forces began assaulting its essence. Nothing has changed over the past 2,000 years. The gospel always has been and always will be under attack. Why? Because it’s the vehicle through which we are saved. If Satan can twist and distort the gospel, then he can effectively wage war on the salvation of countless souls and their eternal destiny. Therefore, understanding the essence of the gospel and how to share it effectively is paramount. In this book, learn how to share the gospel in seven clear steps, how to start a conversation with the unsaved, the marks of saving faith, what we must believe to be saved, the four main excuses the unsaved use against the gospel, what to do after salvation, and more.
Download or read book A Biblical Analysis of Corrective Church Discipline God s Loving Plan to Rescue and Restore Believers written by Dr. Todd M. Fink and published by Selah Book Press. This book was released on 2019-03-08 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corrective church discipline is probably the most difficult task of a church and its leaders. It’s often time-consuming, ugly, has fallout, and usually involves criticism. Therefore, rather than deal with the difficulties of implementing church discipline, we often look for ways to get around it, so we don’t have to deal with the problems it might entail. This might be an easier approach, but it’s not the biblical approach. This book tackles this important doctrine head-on and seeks to let God say what He intended to say about church discipline. After all, He is the one who spoke about it in the first place.
Download or read book Discipleship written by Bruce Hitchcock and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-09-05 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major issue in Christianity today is spiritual apathy. Believers flock to churches that teach the knowledge of God's word without an emphasis on its application. As a result, Christians are "always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth (2 Timothy 3:7). Reverence for God and service to God have become secondary to the lure of the world system and its empty rewards. God must become first in our lives if we are to be obedient to Him. The intent of this book is to convince the reader of the need to grow in Christ and to train others in the process. Discipling is essential to living the Christian life, the abundant life (John 10:10), that Jesus promised to every believer. Yet, so many of us struggle through life, attempting to survive in our own strength. Jesus wants us to depend on him. When we learn to make Jesus the Lord of our lives, we walk in His light, His truth, with Him by our side (1 John 1:7, Matthew 28:20). Discipleship is the instrument that God has provided for us to know him. Knowing God leads us to greater faith in Him. That greater faith finds its completion in the hope of a better life here on earth and eternal life with Him who saves and keeps us.
