I've heard many Christians raise concern or otherwise complain about the (lack of) discipleship in the church. What I often find confusing is the different meanings of the word 'discipleship' that people use. One example I heard recently is from a pastor who has defined discipleship so as to include witnessing and evangelistic outreaches towards those who have not accepted Jesus. This definition holds that a Christian can disciple a non-Christian in the teachings and ways of Jesus. There is an appeal made to the calling and collection of the disciples as an example of this and the idea seems to either be rejected outright (as I think it should be) or mildly accepted by those people I know.
That is what I want to write a little bit about... Tomorrow.
