Jesus says to go and make disciples.  Disciplemakers should baptize and teach followers of Christ to keep the commands of Christ.  Matthew 28

Matthew records that Jesus told people that the greatest commandment is to Love God.  Matthew 22

Moses writes in Deuteronomy 6 that people should love God and keep his commands.

These commands that I give you should be pressed upon your heart.  Let the Bible touch the motivation of everything you do. 

Once you let the Bible in your head and in your heart you should;

repeat it over and over to your children.
talk about it at home and on the road
When you get up and when you lie down
Put it on the door of your house and take it into the community.
Keep it on your hands and on your forehead. 

I am looking for others on this journey who will Study the Bible, Pray it through, live it out and talk about it.  This seems to be a pattern from the Old and New testaments of the Bible.  

What could happen in a church where the followers of Christ would take on this kind of a way of life?

The questions we ask take our lives in a direction... to somewhere and someone. Where and to whom are your questions taking you? *More fodder for reflection:* (read the rest at-  http://www.cupojoewithbill.com/search/label/leadership  )
