Men, feel the passion and urgency of discipleship.
Men, you need to read this story. Women you need to make your husbands read this story. This is what discipleship is. Men need to recognize their need for a mentor, as well as their need to be a mentor. Paul is very deliberate when He tells Timothy to teach the things he has taught him to faithful men so that they will tell other men as well. Women need to encourage their husbands to do this. When your husband feels your support, you’d be amazed how much harder he will pursue it.
Likewise, women need to understand the importance of mentoring relationships with each other as you are told to in Scripture. Too much, these days, we have drifted from nurturing our relationships with substance to sustaining them with pleasing each other and catering to our longing for acceptance, by others, of our sinful selves. We don’t want other to prod us toward change in the truth, rather we want people to leave us alone and just keep us happy. How sad is that?
Read the story of Josh Harris, and think of how you can pursue this.

The church according to Mark Driscoll
One of the big stories in church news the last couple of years is the emerging church. People hear this and right away group every church that would be considered an “emerging church” in one lump group. Mark Driscoll, pastor of Mars Hill Church in Seattle, WA, spoke not too terribly long ago at what was called the convergence conference in South Carolina. His talk was amazing and really spells this stuff out. Click here for the audio and listen to one of the best speakers I’ve ever heard on the subject.

Disciplines
I’m reading through a great book right now. It’s called “Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life”. It’s a great book outlining 12 disciplines each Christian should pursue. Every Christian should have this book.
