Let me say thank you for each email and comment; I wish I could supply each of you with a HeBrews study; better yet I wish we could sit around the table with our favorite brew and delve into this study together. We’d learn a lot.
18 And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Jesus gave us a command – make disciples. And what is it to disciple?
46 Continuing faithfully and with singleness of purpose to meet in the Temple courts daily, and breaking bread in their several homes, they shared their food in joy and simplicity of heart, 47 praising God and having the respect of all the people. And day after day the Lord kept adding to them those who were being saved.
With the advent of personal copies of the Bible, cultural changes, and busyness, one-on-one disciplining in today’s church is rare. I have come to believe Bible Studies such as HeBrews and the many other studies available to us are a path to be discipled. A means to obey our LORD’s command – go and make disciples.
Friends, the early Believers met daily to hear the Word, fellowship, and encourage one another. We have the means to do likewise; daily we can pull up a chair with a fine Bible teacher via a study book and be discipled. Shall we?
But I wanted Tuesday morning early risers to at least have a quick hello waiting here at The White Stone and a reminder that today is last call for the drawing for Leah Adams’ HeBrews A Better Blend. See HERE for details.
Ecclesiastes 11:6 In the morning, sow your seed; and don’t slack off until evening; for you don’t know which sowing will succeed, this, or that, or if both will do well. 7 Then the light will be sweet, and it will be a pleasure to see the sun.
In truth this passage is not a well familiar one for me but I like it. It’s a passage we would be wise to heed and with that I shall call it a night and see you in the morning. May the first light of the sun be a pleasure for us all and may we sow well the seeds of faith from morning to evening.
And just in case you missed Friday’s post, we have a give-a-way in progress and it is not too late for you to enter. ClickHEREand read the details.
Luke 12:27 Think about the wild irises, and how they grow. They neither work nor spin thread; yet, I tell you, not even Shlomo in all his glory was clothed as beautifully as one of these. 28 If this is how God clothes grass, which is alive in the field today and thrown in the oven tomorrow, how much more will he clothe you! What little trust you have!
We are glad you are here; stay a while, look around, and be encouraged. We estimate there to be over 3,000 posts here at The White Stone Blog. Please know my hope is ALWAYS to help and NEVER harm. I have voiced many opinions and thoughts here since 2007 and by now I MAY NOT EVEN AGREE with all of them and some of my grammar and punctuation likely needs editing. But this is changeless: JESUS is our ONLY Savior and Hope. Do you KNOW Him?
