#radical discipleship

[mybeautifulchristianjourney]

by Joel Beeke | Church programs, campus ministries, and independent organizations today emphasize the need for radical discipleship. It is not always clear what they mean by this. The word radical can be a trendy term...

[madewithonerib]

1e] The believer becomes inseparable from the LORD.

         Galatians 2:20, “Nevertheless I live,” Paul says,          “yet not I but CHRIST lives in me.”

    This is the foundation of that.

    The apostle Paul is on his way to the persecution of     Christians, headed for Damascus.

    The LORD strikes him down, makes him blind.

    He falls into the dirt & he hears this from the LORD,     “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting ME?”

    Saul [who was Paul, is Paul to us] was breathing out     threatening & slaughter against believers & JESUS said,     “You’re persecuting ME.”

NOTE: We can’t mistreat other believers, they are GOD’s.             This includes wrongly accusing one another.
