The Disciple Making Pastor

By Bill Hull

You do not have to be a Pastor to benefit from the gems of wisdom found in this book. Book reviews usually vary from opinions to a general description. However, I prefer to reveal the works value with a sample of what I found in my prospecting for treasure.

These are the gems of thought I found in Chapter Three:
The Great Commission represents the commanded work of the church. The three important actions called for are; going, baptizing, and teaching.
Disciple making is necessary to obey that Great Commission.  Jesus specified the work product of the church with the command, ”Make Disciples”.
By Jesus’ definition, disciples reproduce themselves through evangelism. Those are the reproducers that create the multiplication for an exponential growth of the church.
The teaching of believers to obey the Great Commission is a vital work of the church. It will require commitment to a accountable learning mode. The evidence of such a commitment will appear in the training of people to do evangelism, showing them how, and doing it with them, then letting them do it.
The disciple is the committed follower of Jesus Christ who communicates with God through the Word, Prayer and demonstrates his belief by action.
offered with love through the Holy Spirit, brother george
