Exploring How a Teaching About Discipleship Might Affect the Life of a Christian Today

The role of a disciple continues to inspire men and woman today.

History is marked be people who committed their life to Jesus Christ

In the question, I will explore the lives of the following Christian

disciples, Martin Luther King, Maximillian Kolbe and Sister Eleisha.

Martin Luther King might affect the life of a Christian today because

he is a good example of a disciple. He is a good example of a disciple

because he is dedicated to God and he gave up his life for God, as he

became a Baptist minister. Also in 1955 he led a boycott in

Montgomery, Alabama. Through out his career he pressed for equal

treatment and improved rights for blacks by organizing non-violent

protests. He believed in non-violent protest because he is following

the words of God.

"Love your neighbor as you love yourself". (MK 12:31-32)

King also sacrificed a lot, he gave up life to help black Americans,

and he gave up the security of his family. Martin Luther King was

dedicated to follow Jesus because in 1963 King led a march between

Washington and Lincoln where he delivered a very powerful speech "I

have a dream". This speech tells us that everyone is equal no matter

what their skin colour is but their character will only judge them.

Also in Kings speech he dedicated to follow Jesus because he told us,

"everyone is equal".

King suffered a lot in his time he suffered the cost of discipleship

because his house was bombed, but he believed and depended on God and

he carried on to do what he believed in. King like Christ died for

what he believed in. King believed in ...

... middle of paper ...

...pt on going as

he had faith in Jesus.

The next Disciple I have chosen to look at is Sister Eleisha. She is a

good example of a good disciple because she gave up her life of

starting a family and she gave up her wealth for Jesus. She also helps

the people who are in need by giving them money she also preaches the

word of God. She sacrificed her life and family for Jesus but she has

now got an international family of sisters, and houses to go to all

over the world. She also believes that the most important thing in

life is to be happy. Sister Elisha doesn't just think about herself

she puts people before her, and that is why she is a good disciple.

Peter, Maximillian Kolbe, Martin Luther King and Sister Eleisha could

affect the life of a Christian today because they are all good

examples of a modern day disciple.

  • Incarnational Discipleship In A Secular Age By Glen Stassen

    1366 Words  | 3 Pages

    This book indeed is one of those books that every Christian should read. The author did a great job translating his knowledge and experience into this concise book that contain many insights useful for our ministries. In summary, out of the many questions implied in the book, perhaps one of the more important ones to summarize the book is, what does it mean to be a Jesus’ disciple in a materialistic world like the one we have today? Another one is to ask, does being a Jesus’ follower have ethical implications in a pluralistic world like ours? Well! In this book, Glenn Stassen tries to investigate our situation as followers of Jesus in the present age suggesting an “incarnational discipleship” that addresses the lack of discipleship our world experience today. In order to this, Stassen proposes us with an ethical vision that can build our identity to enable believers to live devotedly in the secular world in which we live today.

  • Personal Theology of Discipleship

    1779 Words  | 4 Pages

    Just what is theology? This question can have a wide variety of answers, from irrelevant facts about God thought up by men centuries ago, to complicated theories discussed by scholars. Typically, the average 21st century man does not consider theology as relevant. Unfortunately, nothing could be further from the truth. Theology by definition has the characteristics of both expounding the truth, and impacting the believer with that truth (Himes, 2011). Therefore, theology and the church are intricately combined, in that the church embodies the revelation of God, and is reality, not theory (Himes, 2011). A personal practical theology must begin with revelation, not the individual (Himes, 2011), and proclaim the truth in a way that impacts, equips, and mobilizes the believer to make disciples in the genre of God’s choosing.

  • Mary Magdalene Research Paper

    We all know that one person. They are always by the teachers side. It seems like they are sucking up to get their way or receive extra attention… or extra credit. They constantly do things for the teacher and go the extra mile every time. In today’s world this is viewed as a negative thing. But I think this is the the kind of loyalty Mary Magdalene showed to Jesus during her time with Him. It seemed like she was always by His side. There are three instances in the Bible in which she was at His feet. Two of them were while Jesus was at Mary and Martha’s house eating dinner. She sat at His feet to listen and she sat at His feet to anoint His feet. The third was at “the foot of the cross” (Barry 2). I think all of these can apply to how we are

    Leaving the disciple making process to chance, or to coincidental occurrence, is negligence at best. Reliance on the Holy Spirit in this process, however, is paramount. We will speak to this issue in further detail later on when we talk about inspiration. This short instructional essay will survey and assess the sources, that God has readied the disciple-maker with, to be used in the process of effective disciple making.

Much to my surprise she believed in many of the things taught in Convocation and Bible but had still not accepted Christ as her personal Lord and Savior. As the conversation proceeded, I shared my testimony as well as many passages from the book of Romans with her in hopes to share my experiences with her. After I shared my testimony I was surprised to see that Mikaela was actually wanting to develop a relationship with the Lord and live a life that was pleasing to
