Last week was the State of the Union address, with all of the political wrangling and turmoil around it. That is pretty normal. However, I want to respond to a troubling trend I am seeing in our American churches right now. The problem is we are seeking political solutions to spiritual problems. You can’t legislate change in people’s hearts. Only Jesus can change a heart.

Tac has a story, a brutally crazy story. God has a story, too. It’s a story of redemption.
After you hear his story, I encourage you to check out http://www.bridgestolife.org/ and prayerfully consider if this is something you should be involved with in some form or fashion.

A continuing case study on how to disciple someone.
Here is a quote I wanted to share with you from a couple of articles on discipleship.org.
Disciple Making Movements Defined
A disciple making movement exists when churches* plant churches
- through gospel activity
- that has abundant fruit among the lost,
- that multiplies these disciples (people growing in obedience to all of Jesus’ commands)
- who in turn replicate themselves in others, so that we can see at least four generations regularly produced
- in multiple streams of disciple-making activity
- and these streams multiply consistently into churches.
*Discipleship.org defines a church as – A spiritual family growing in surrendered obedience to all the teachings of Jesus Christ who gather together regularly under Biblically recognized leadership for the purpose of fulfilling the Great Commission (making disciples) with a Great Commandment heart (loving God, loving people).

Deut 6:4-9 “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. 6 And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. 7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. 8 You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. 9 You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.”

This is a case study on how to disciple someone. In order to give you a look into what we are doing, I will be sharing what I am doing on a regular basis with a man I’ll call “Disciple A.” I hope you enjoy this format, and I hope it will give you insights into how to disciple the people around you.
The case study was inspired by this article from the Discipleship.org blog. I highly encourage you to read it, as well as the follow-up part 2 article. (Part 2 is a MUST read!)

Of church or chapel bell;
I want to run a rescue shop,
Within a yard of hell.”
