For too long we have turned discipleship into what you know. Pilate asked 'What is truth?' The real question as one of my professors (Dr. David Wheeler) has said is 'Who is truth?' That's the question Pilate needed answered! Jesus said, 'I am the the way, the truth, and the life.' (John 14:6). Spiritual growth is important and necessary, but Christianity is at the root a relationship.
I love to read, and have benefited form many books and have a stack on a desk I'm working at right now. However, when God chose to speak the most personally to us - He became a man and dwelt among us. I am learning that the reason so many people get frustrated in life and in ministry is because they focus on the 'what' instead of the 'who'.
The Lord promises Himself to His people. Fall in love with Him again. Embrace the love, joy and peace that come from knowing Him. Bring people to Jesus, and encourage them to bring people to Jesus, who will bring people to Jesus. Multiply the impact. At the end of the day, it's all about Jesus. What a Savior!
