YOU ARE NOT YOUR OWN

So I wanted to leave you with some tasty tidbits from a book I'm currently reading...

• "Yet we have not made disciples if we only help people grow to maturity without also seeing them reproduce."

• "Studies have shown that only 1 out of 6 adults who attend Christian worship services is involved in a group or relational process designed to help them grow spiritually."

• Great question to ask... "How can we grow self-initiating, reproducing, fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ?"

• "Christianity would be incredibly influential in our culture if Christians consistently lived their faith. Most non-Christians don't read the Bible, so they judge Christianity by the lives of the Christians they see. The problem is that millions of Christians don't live like Christians - and that's partially because they don't know what they believe and therefore cannot apply appropriate scriptural values to their lives."

• "Proximity produces disciples."

Oh, and you need to see this!
