Bible Note: Julie, I have a question/comment on "I haven't made any disciples yet". No one that I have led to Christ or that I disciple is "my" disciple. They are disciples of the Lord. That was an issue Corinth (1Co 1:10-17). While we should all witness, some have a spiritual gift of leading others to Chirst. Some of the gifts are listed in the Bible (Rom 12:6-8, 1Co 12:4-6, Eph 4:11). There are some, including myself, who think the lists are not exhaustive. If you haven't led anyone to the Lord, live your life - let them see the Gospel, as opposed to preaching it. If you want to disciple someone, find a younger believer ... and grow as you disciple. Hope this helps, Searcher |
