We led a class on Street Ministry at WYI for 4 days. A guy named David said something profound. We were talking about our hopes for a person when we share Jesus with them on the street. His hope was that the person would "pay it forward". We concluded that this was as good a description as any of discipleship. Do you agree?

Hmmm, it sounds good - to pay it forward - what is it exactly that we are paying forward - sharing with somebody about Jesus?
Discipleship involves a whole lot more than that - imitating your teacher, following exactly what he does, listening to his every word, eating at his feet, using the same fork with the same hand . . . .
The other is just evangelism - which is also part of discipleship - but not part and parcel.
Congrats on being part of the street ministry at WYI - it is such an eyeopener to do that.
yes i concur, there is also denial of what we want and expect from the LORD but what he wants and expects from us.love always considers the other in the loving relationship,i have to trust jesus to meet all my needs in the relationship, where i think we as christians can improve is in what we can do for him,by our prayer life,our actions, and our attitudes.basicly how we treat him and his humanity...thank you for letting me share the LORDon your blog.~!!
