Past habit patterns nullify many commands of the scripture. His next statement only says that times have change in the last ? years and we need to make a course correction. The changing of the times has nothing to do with it. The procedures of the past were wrong then and now. They are wrong because of what the scriptures say, not cultural changes. Focusing disciple making on one profession is false function or disobedience to the Word, even as sincere as it may be by men who are otherwise godly. It is false shepherding and false teaching to hold the saints in perpetual dependency rather than full reproduction Luke 6:40; 2 Tim. 2:1,2Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06869272176391202061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23191203.post-59089379266925607962014-01-29T11:23:47.538-05:002014-01-29T11:23:47.538-05:00Tim,

I may be misunderstanding your concern below, but it seems to me Dale explains his 1:09 statement right after from about 1:15-1:24. Give it a listen again and see if this answers your concern.J.

Why not? No rebuke or correction?<br />Can we run the race without "throwing off the things that hinder and the sin that so easily besets"? <br />You can't have every believer making disciples if we maintain the former ways. Is this just a pandering statement to ward off the tradition clingers criticism?<br />Why did he say this? It makes no sense. Making disciples is not merely a "new way". It's not merely an option among many. It is the only way to obey.

The question that continues to haunt me ...Esteban,<br /><br />The question that continues to haunt me is that at least in my life other things make up my daily rituals and mindset. By the end of the day, little is left for being about the "main things" such as making disciples. As you say, huge paradigm changes are necessary to make disciples.J.

I really like what Dr. F says in Preach & Heal: "You get everything when you get disciples.". The problem is that all the paradigm changes necessary to truly make disciples are BIG ONES. May the Father give us courage to change our daily rituals and our daily mindset so as to truly make disciples of all peoples. EstebanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
