In Matthew 28:19 it says to "go" which translates to “as you go” and that's special because it’s not a great suggestion but a commission. That means that wherever we go in life, whatever we do, through the exciting and the mundane we should seek to make disciple makers.
🤔What is it to make disciples? What do you do to make disciples? What are others doing to make disciples? Jesus made disciples. Am I and others doing what Jesus did to make disciples?
Jesus said, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. I am with you always.”

In Luke 14:33 Jesus says:
"So therefore, any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple."
🤔 What is it that needs to renounced? What are some examples for you or others?
Army Joe is a #christiansurfer who is thankful that he is now a #JesusBoy and that his life is being transformed daily as he reads the bible, prays and meets weekly with other #disciples in a simple home church.
Steve the surfer loves his new daily habit of reading the bible first thing in the morning and last thing at night, and wishes he had begun years ago.

Martin Luther, when once asked what his plans for the following day were, answered: "Work, work, from early until late. In fact, I have so much to do that I shall spend the first three hours in prayer."
Making disciples is like building your first house. You will learn as you go. But if you don't start you will never get what you have been commanded to do.
Of all the preaching in Acts, Luke records only one message before a believing audience, the rest are to people far from God. The Word goes out into public places and homes, prison cells, in the markets, on a sinking ship. Every disciple is a messenger empowered by the Spirit.
