Dr.
Thomas Q Robbins believes there is an extremely important message for any
serious follower of Jesus Christ in the 10th chapter of Hebrews,
verses 19-25. This passage clearly
describes the six disciplines that make one an effective disciple of Jesus
Christ.
There is such a critical need for the Church to be all that is was
created to be. Practicing these
six aspects of discipleship or disciplines that are discussed in this Bible
study will allow us to help the Church become what it was intended to be when
Jesus Christ established it.
Dr. Robbins thoroughly
explains the six disciplines that are vital to our growth as a Christian and
suggests a simple three-part procedure to get us all restarted with a renewed
desire to become all that God intends for us to be.
None of these six disciplines are new to you. They represent areas of life – areas of
practice – that are intended to become as natural as breathing and
sleeping. Look for them as you
listen to the message. You may
call the message up and listen via audio streaming or download it as a podcast
to listen to later. These are the
areas to look for:
1. Prayer
2. Persevere in
your faith. Focus on the
Faithfulness of God. Get your eyes
off of yourself.
3. Provoke others
in the works of love and the things of God. We are to encourage and hold each other accountable for
translating our faith into daily life.
4. Meet with God both alone and with others. Practice His Presence.
5. Encourage each other.
6. Never lose site of the return of Jesus
Christ. Believe in the Resurrection.
These are the basic principles for us to
follow so that we, as Paul says in Second Corinthians, know God better today than we did the day
before. Practicing these
principles will make us a different person and much more prepared to help make the
world a better place to live in until Christ returns.
