At a small group this week, one of the single moms brings her boys since, as a working mother, they have so little time together. Being only 8, the group figures that most of what they talk about goes right over his head. But this week, with the wisdom of a child, he declares "When we are here, its just like we are in church, so you have to be respectful of each other and the Lord. This is a house church." And he is right, small group IS church at its most primal level.
You see, you are making disciples all the time, but what are you discipling them in? Are you showing love and respect for others? Are you having grace and mercy? Self control? Or do you only display these things on Sunday morning?
Intentional disciple- making is living out our daily life in a way that honors God and displays our love for Him and for others. Will we blow it sometimes? Of course we will, but when we do, we stand back up and keep going, honoring God and loving people. Thats how we BE one, and thats how we MAKE one.
