200 Blessings

[2Timothy2]

Each of the others can include discipling, but as a focus, a ministry of discipling brings up new Christians in the essentials of the faith, teaching others so that they can in turn teach others also. Seveal of the guesses overlap each other, and in truth, many of them are all our responsibilities. I had discipling in mind because this is where I believe God is calling me. No one ever took me under their wing to teach me the essentials and instill in me Spiritual disciplines. My growth as a Christian suffered as a result. Once a Pastor did this, though, my life changed. He was doing more than just the office of Pastoring the flock. It was a one on one thing. It is something we all can do to a degree.

If that doesn't help, then I hope this does. It was my game and my rules so there. Hahaha JK

Thanks, BUT it really was not about the blessings.

I just took his explanation wrong that we were bad for not coming up with his answer when it certainly was covered by many that we listed.

And I think some people do not usually think of all the "drudgy" jobs as a ministry when they certainly are.

So sorry you were not properly discipled when you were a new Christian.

Thank you CC. I think there are a lot of us out there. It is a shame because when we are not well grounded in the essentials, we are easy targets for 'every wind of doctrine'.

You know, I never had any kind of intentional discipling, either. There are some issues I dealt with as a teenager that I think would have been easier if I had known some of the basics of the faith... my heart was in it, but I lacked grounding. There was so much I learned from experience... from friends in college... from seminary... and things that I am still learning.

Discipling each other is a crucial ministry -- our spiritual needs don't end when we convert.

That was me as well... I became a Christian when I was in second grade and never had any sort of spiritual leadership until I was a sophomore in high school Made it much easier for backsliding, and much harder for growth...
