Robert Coleman writes in The Master’s Plan of Discipleship, “We reproduce what we believe. If we believe that Christ is no more than a great moral teacher who only offers the best of many religious options, then we will politely ignore the exclusive demands of His Kingdom. But if we truly believe that Jesus is the Lord of heaven and earth and that His finished work at Calvary alone brings salvation to a lost world, then we will go forth to herald His Name to every creature. Whatever the creed espoused, disciples of Christ who do not express this concern simply do not take their faith seriously.”

No Comments I’ve been reading a bunch of different books lateley. I’ve been looking over Bill Hull’s Disciple-Making Pastor and Robert Coleman’s Master’s Plan of Discipleship to think about church growth and strategy. I am becoming convinced that the people of the church must grow and mature in order to solve our “nickels and noses” issues. Although I appreciate Ed Stetzer’s books on Comeback Churches and Lost and Found, all of these elements like “updated worship music” and “use of technology” are secondary – the real core of the matter is people loving and following and on fire for God. Isn’t Mark Driscoll saying this in Radical Reformission? We must be a people in love with the Lord, transformed by the Lord, walking with the Lord, and evangelism and tithing will take care of itself.
