ESSENTIAL DISCIPLESHIP PREPARATION--Intentional, Personal Discipleship
Part 1: HIS STORY, MY STORY, HISTORY is an amazing story of how God worked not only in the author's life during a full four-year period, but also in his wife, daughter, and son. It is a huge tribute to the persistence, patience, and faithfulness of the loving and gracious Heavenly Father with a son who was extremely slow to completely trust His Father.
With 2 Timothy 2:2 in mind and heart, the author challenges his readers to center their thoughts and actions on the meaning and the application of the Great Commission and the Great Commandment of Christ, for the purpose of accomplishing the overall goal of Christlikeness.
Part 2: INTENTIONAL, PERSONAL DISCIPLESHIP offers both practical help and real hope for every believer! It is...
... a Biblically based personal record of life search, truth discovery, and application experiences (Colossians 1:28-29);
...staying in the Word (John 15:1-7) and praying in the Spirit (Ephesians 6:18);
...a simple, proven, timeless, practical strategy for propelling believers onward and upward, in being INTENTIONAL about their own PERSONAL DISCIPLESHIP (2 Peter 3:18);
...what every Christian ought to know (2 Timothy 2:15);
...for any and every believer that really wants to bridge the gap from mediocrity to the abundant life Jesus came to give them (John 10:10);
...all about your spiritual transformation (Romans 12:1-2), with the goal of Christlikeness (Philippians 3:10) becoming more of a reality in your life!
Part 3: A LONG LOOK FORWARDS sets forth additional practical applications of 2 Timothy 2:2—"And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others." It is about passing all of the above on to generations yet to come!
