Thank you, everyone, for sharing things for me to feed on
Evangelism and Discipleship.
So, we do not only bring people to Jesus, but then take care of them and disciple them. And in order to do this, we ourselves need to be healthy in God's love and be His good
"examples to the flock." (in 1 Peter 5:3) So, while we disciple others, there is how we ourselves need to help one another to grow in Jesus >
"speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the Head---Christ---" (in Ephesians 4:15). God wants us to share with Him in all His good things, while we reach and disciple. And, of course, this means we ourselves are being discipled, while we may be discipling others
I have fun, in a way, telling newer children of God, that they are important enough with God so they can help and bless me, and teach me and correct me. Because God can use every child of God to be good for any other person.
We need to learn how to live in Jesus Christ's
"rest for your souls" (in Matthew 11:28-29) so we can minister this to others; I just thought of this. Our ministering needs to be in His personal guiding in His rest and peace, so this is in our example > because > part of our basic calling is to obey how God rules us in His peace >
"And let the peace of God rule in your hearts to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful." (Colossians 3:15)
