Restoration 31
Discipleship & Restoration
 

God tells us to "repent and follow Him". 
The definition of repent is to turn and change directions.
Although repentance must occur at the time of salvation,
                        it is also an on-going process that is not always easy.


He also tells us to go and make disciples. 
Going and making disciples means more than asking
someone to pray a prayer and get baptized.
We have to teach them and we have to help them
as they "repent" (turn and change direction).
Then we have to guide and support them as they begin
incorporating God's Word into their daily lives.

It is amazing to watch a woman 
(who thinks she has no gifts or abilities) 
come to life as she tastes a delicious meal filled
with the fruits of her labor, 
or collects a basket of eggs & shares some with a neighbor 
or helps provide Christmas gifts for a family in need 
with money she made from selling items on eBay.
God is certainly in the business of restoring lives.
It is exciting to watch Him work!

He is sufficient.
