Hey everyone I’m Gary Hoban and welcome to Refinery Life Australia.
Today we are talking about The Discipline Of Discipleship.
As the church worldwide and indeed this church are in a time of change, I would like us to consider two words, Discipline and Discipleship.
Actually discipleship means discipline.
The disciple is one who has been taught and trained by the Master.
He or she has come with ignorance, superstition, and sin to find truth and forgiveness from the Saviour.
Without discipline we are not disciples, even though we profess Jesus’ name.
Recent generations have resented and rebelled against discipline.
Liberty and license have replaced law and order.
Furthermore, permissiveness has become a lifestyle with most people, including Christians.
This lack of discipline is the enemy of faithfulness to God.
It weakens compassion, because it places the first and primary emphasis on self.
Bust just what do we mean by discipline?
One dictionary defines it as “training that corrects, molds, or perfects the mental faculties or moral character”.
Without difficulty, we can translate this definition into the spiritual realm.
As growing, maturing, Christians, we will constantly be undergoing correction and molding, all leading to the ultimate perfection we will experience when we stand in Christ’s presence.
Until next time
Stay in the Blessings
I really want to encourage you to be diligent with your Bible study time, because God has so much more for us than we can get from just going to church once or twice a week and hearing someone else talk about the Word.
When you spend time with God, your life will change in amazing ways, because God is a Redeemer.
Theres nothing thats too hard for Him, and He can make you whole, spirit, soul and body!
You’re important to God, and you’re important to us at The Refinery.
When it comes to prayer, we believe that God wants to meet your needs and reveal His promises to you.
So whatever you’re concerned about and need prayer for we want to be here for you! Or even if you just want to say Hi, you can contact us at www.refinerylife.org
