* Let go of control. * Trust God. Thank God. Think about God. Talk to God. Talk about God. * It's good to suffer loss. It draws me to the Cross where God's loss is more than what anyone ever lost. * We cannot hear what the stories of the Bible are saying until we hear them as stories about ourselves.

Raising Disciples

  • Sadly, it's so much easier to teach others than to teach myself (Rom 2:21).
  • Focus on "be" not "do," "being" not "doing," "being a disciple" (Mk 1:17a; Mt 28:19a) not "raising disciples" (Mk 1:17b; Mt 28:19b).
    • Focus first on yourself (Ac 20:28a) and not primarily on others (Ac 20:28b).
    • Focus on Jesus (Heb 12:2), not the Bible student (Isa 53:6a).
