If I
had to come up with a curriculum for discipleship for this day and age, to go
through with one other person who is motivated to know God, it would include:
1)
your inner voice is not God’s voice.
2)
Being drawn to Jesus is the surest sign that God is with you.
3) God’s greatest work is to build a church. Contribute to the church’s singing,
confessing, praying, listening, communing, and serving. Think very locally about how to give of
yourself.
4) Have very deliberate
morning and evening rituals of prayer.
Include others if you can.
5) Be
a good steward of words first, and this will teach you to be a good steward of
everything else.
6) Be child-like and do
something you love for its own sake, everyday if possible. What can you begin to write, paint, read,
craft, or do in five minutes a day? This
is a practice that will likely embody a basic truth about the Christian
worldview for insiders and outsiders alike: that God creates and redeems not as
a means to an end, but simply because it is good.
