As a result many of these people left because they felt stagnant and were not able to use their spiritual gifts to serve God in this house.
They were basically disregarded. Some of the spiritual gifts are to be out into action immediately.
DEVOTIONAL MATERIALS
Looking into the new testament, some times there was no training or human interference by a leader. It was the Holy Spirit doing His job. We headed departments and reported back to the pastor. None of us had any specific calling. And those that did were not selected to lead or encourage. We were the people who headed the prayer groups, the music group, the deco group, the secretary and the finance group, all chosen by the pastor.
Not by the church in entirety as it was with the first deacons. And whenever they was even slight hint of immaturity we were rebuked because we were giving the church a bad name. So many shrunk and felt to feign holiness but not being transformed by God. Living out of fear of failing the pastor.
The expectations were high and the room for failure was so small. So we lived in this kind of fear of not measuring up. I believe now that this is not the right way.

We are also to learn from the ones who have claimed more maturity, but if this learning comes with a hefty dosage of judgment which doesnt build up in love, then we have a bunch of people not leaving in Christlike freedom. Not freedom to sin but the freedom to live and learn while living in Christ without condemnation. I have learned a lot from this article. God bless you. My family too had issues like yours with our former local church. Though we prayed to God to give us the grace for the mistreatment of the leaders to the minorities, we came to a point that we need to protect ourselves that the Holy Spirit led us to a loving church not perfect but being perfected through sanctification.
I hope and pray that whatever happens, our Faithful Heavenly Father guides us through as we walk by faith while we wait. The great commission in Matthew was given to those apprentices called disciples, You can only give what you have. Romans Here we see that a disciples is commissioned to make disciple agreed. Elisha went through discipleship under Elijah. In Matthew 4: The call of disciple, 2 Timothy And the things you heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others.
You have to be solder to make a solder. I stand to be corrected on how we to make a disciple and not be disciple. Luke 6;40 A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher. I think you misunderstood that point. Jesus says make disciples but many are stuck on being disciples only: sitting at the feet but never going out to do anything.
We learn more by doing. The emphasis is on the action word: Make. Of course the best way to make is to be. But if you wait for perfection you will never do anything. So the point was to learn but while learning, do. The disciples of Jesus we not perfect men in full control of their carnality before they made other disciples for Christ. But with time they became better. Im a believer in Christ. I have no doubt. My struggle is true discipleship. And then in Luke So then, none of you can be My disciple who does not give up all his own possessions.
My question is there even one today doing this? We can believe but are we truely obeying? I do my best to love everyone. I Encourage those around me to change there view when upset, angry, stressed, anything negative, in attempt to see theres more to all things. Not to let emotions lead but love, patiences and discipline mature us. Influence good or bad outside of Jesus teachings drawn us away from discipleship.
This leads to even more questions and truths. Biggest question is where do each of us stand personally? God designed the family. Go back to Genesis 29 where Leah and Rachel is wrote about. Jacob loved Leah and he loved Rachel, but Jacob loved Rachel more. He loved Rachel so much more that if you could place the two loves side by side the love he had for Rachel was so great; that when compared to the love of Leah it looks like hatred. Jesus in the New Testament is saying your love for Him should be so much more that when set beside anything else the love for Christ should be so great that it looks like hatred.
Our problem in the church I believe is we are over correcting our discipleship towards the church members.

- How The Church Today is Getting Discipleship Wrong;
We have failed at discipleship and now we are over correcting. We end up preaching and teaching a works base approach to God. We first and foremost need to realize the Biblical Love of Christ towards man and if we start to see how far God had reached down to us. Our response should be then to serve Him.
For Paul write to the Galation Church and was marveled how soon they were removed from the truth of the gospel that he taught them.

It is about Jesus. And it is about others. It was never about you anyway. Follow Jesus and obey him there you will be certain where you stand. I understand the context of these passages and why Jesus told the Pharisees about such. Also, as a follower of Christ, we know that our flesh and our heart may fail at times and this is a humbling truth that apart from Christ, we can do nothing.
I believe that a genuine Christian will follow Christ no matter how he fails in life… Because the measure of true Discipleship is not pointed toward us but to our Discipler, Jesus. Please pray with us that God will provide us with all the resources required to build our planned international christian school Camp David Green Academy in Kenya. I am sorry that I did not see your post earlier.
I wanted to see how things are progressing with your school, and find out more that I might possibly be of help. Thank you, and God Bless. It is easy to lament all of the problems and miss the reality that Christ loves the church. Where can I go for that? The Navigators have excellent materials. Are you kidding? And, then, it only took me to the second comment to have that negativity hit me and the full force of my disillusionment come back full force. Methinks that was at least the partial point of the article…. Speaking as a survivor of clergy sexual abuse protestant who has seen some ugly in the church, the absolute last thing to do when facing disillusionment is to separate from the church.
In no way am I downplaying your hurt. Your disillusionment is a great step forward, honestly. Everybody goes through the disillusionment stage. Brands plucked from the fire, sinners saved by grace, sheep needing a shepherd….

Pslam 45 shows what Jesus sees in His church. Jesus gave His life for us when we were yet sinners. Even better, you know the problem is you which is great.
I do feel however, that the progression of knowledge follows the trend of maturity — not that it produces it, but that it should follow it. A better verse to support this claim can be found in 1 Timothy Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers. I know I have. Also, Acts As soon as it was night, the believers sent Paul and Silas away to Berea. On arriving there, they went to the Jewish synagogue.
I mean, it says knowing the love of Christ is greater than knowledge.
This is so odd. I very much wish logic and rhetoric were still taught in school. Praise Jesus.
