Ends, Means & Processes

I‘m convinced that it's absolutely necessary for Christian Leader’s and Christian Believer's to Develop, what I see as, Concentric Relationship Networks (more about what I mean by that later) to help Cultivate the Kind of Community Discipling that we read about among God's Covenant People - His Covenant Family Communities - that help Christians everywhere Connect with "one another", to join with fellow Christian Neighbors and become Worshiping Missional Communities! The Aim of these Connected Relationships is to help "Advance (or bring about) the Obedience of Faith" Together. (That's another way , it seems, that Paul described the concept of the Commission of Discipling - to "advance the obedience of faith", Romans 1:5, 16:26.) As I read the Scriptures and see the followers of Christ interact together (implicitly and explicitly), in obedience to many Relational Commands, I observe them get positioned to Work Together, and Watch God Work, through Mutual Discipling Relationships within Communities of sorts. I’m also persuaded, from Scripture, that SUCH Communities bring about (or actually the Holy Spirit working through "every ligament with which it (the body) is equipped" brings about) Exponential Ministry Growth Potential - Spiritually, Structurally, Functionally and Numerically. This can be, is already and will be accomplished by the Hand of God as Believers PRACTICE THE TRUTH AND PROCLAIM THE FAITH TOGETHER (IN AND THROUGH COMMUNITY) FOR GOD'S GLORY AND HIS GOOD PLEASURE. I believe the community together "proclaims the gospel" (in word and deed)as it demonstrates the love of God Together with one another and toward others - our neighbors. See John 13:35; 1 John 3:

You and your church can Help Engage, Equip and Empower fellow Christians to Love God, One Another and their Neighbors through Community Discipling (Discipling Communities). I want to help encourage and mobilize churches to Reform the way they Function, that is to -

Restructure the Community Life of the "Local Church" to Help Christian Neighbors
Persuasively Testify to the Gospel of God’s Grace Together through Community
Advancing the Worship, Ministry and Mission of Jesus Christ Geographically.

We are the "called people of God" and, in so many ways in Scripture, called to
- LIVING UNDER GOD'S SOVEREIGN GRACE AND REIGNING IN LIFE WITH CHRIST TOGETHER -
Give Expression to His Kingdom on Earth by Cultivating Covenant Family Communities that
Incarnate the Truth of God Together and Exemplify the Gospel in Community;
Exhibiting and Expressing Together His Love for God and Neighbor
