Follow up

It was a full house at the gymnasium last night for the “Seven Project” with several hundred young people responding and making commitments to Jesus Christ. Now the follow up begins to reach those that may fall through the cracks if our discipleship programs are not sound. Too many times events like this come and go with no lasting change because the ball gets dropped and the hype of the moment dies down. I am thankful that when I made my serious commitment to Christ nearly 40 years ago that there were people who invested in my spiritual well being. It was a life-changing event that is still getting better every day. Today is a day for these who responded to the Gospel last night to set down some roots. Mark the day by driving a stake in the ground to look back at. The discipleship basic that are still a part of my everyday life include:

Spending time reading the Word of God ( Bible )
Spending time in Prayer ( Communication )
Spending time with others ( Fellowship )
Spending time learning ( Networking )

Our task is cut out for us.
