Jesus said to go and make disciples. Should I go build a church? Maybe churches just happen when we go and make disciples. I have not found a command to go and make a church. I know Satan cannot stop the mission of the church.
What if a church stopped doing anything that the Bible does not tell it to do? What if the main thing was to make disciples? What if the people of the church were either being discipled or making disciples. Every person in a relationship that is all about helping each other in how they take the next step in how they follow Christ.
It is wrong to say make disciples away from the context of how Jesus made disciples. To know the meaning of a verse, we must look at the context. Context, Context, Context. That is the basics of Bible Study.
Why do I feel like I am saying two different things when I say build a biblical church or make disciples in the way of Jesus?
They are the same thing. We have messed this up. We call it a church and build a church building and don't do what Jesus said to do. God forgive us. I am a leader in the church. God forgive me.
Let's build a church in the discipling ways of Jesus.
