Intentional action improve discipline
Intentional discipleship takes practice. Most people do not even know what it looks like. The world has not done a great job of portraying it either. When people think of discipleship, they usually think of their pastor, a theologian, or someone with years of formal biblical training. When we talk about evangelism, many people immediately picture someone standing on a street corner preaching in a way most people try to avoid, or someone going door to door like a salesman. Sure, that can be a way, but I cannot imagine it is always the most effective way.
True discipleship and evangelism often begin with your own testimony, your experiences, and the knowledge God has given you. You do not have to have every answer. You do not need to know everything. You need to know what Jesus has done in your life, and you need to be willing to share it.
Being intentional can be as simple as sharing your story and then using that story to point someone toward the Gospel. Beyond that, the way we live and act every day does more for the Kingdom than we sometimes want to admit. If you are truly in a relationship with Christ, that relationship will change you. Not overnight, and not all at once, but over time the way you move, think, act, react, lead, and follow should begin to change. Your life should begin to align more and more with how Jesus instructs us to live.
Take time to open your Bible and read Romans 12:1-2 before continuing.
This passage speaks directly to surrender, transformation, and discernment. It reminds us that following Christ is not only about what we believe internally, but also how we live outwardly. Our bodies, minds, actions, and decisions should be submitted to God. It also shows that as we are transformed and renewed, we begin to better recognize what aligns with God’s will. This does not mean we are testing God. It means we are testing whether a thought, idea, direction, or desire lines up with His will. We do that by examining scripture, praying honestly, and comparing what we believe against the truth of God’s Word.
If it does not align with scripture, then it is not from God. When we begin to align ourselves with the Word and will of God, discipleship and evangelism become more natural. We stop trying to force something we do not live, and we begin sharing from a life that is actually being transformed by Christ.
This week, let's make a commitment to change one habit that may be keeping us from growing in our faith
