Our Confidence is in Christ Alone!

"He takes no pleasure in the strength of a horse or in human might.  No, the Lord's delight is in those who fear Him, those who put their hope in His unfailing love." Psalm 147:10&11 (NLT)

 Living as a Disciple of Jesus Christ

If we are disciples of the Living Lord Jesus Christ, then we must take our cues from him.  Every aspect of our lives must be tied to learning and living in line with what He teaches and with what He expects from us.

To do anything else is to live below the blessing and calling which God has placed upon our lives through Jesus Christ. To choose any other way is to ignore and deny the power of the Holy Spirit to guide.

Discipleship Equals Freedom

The reason that so many disciples live so far beneath the calling of Christ, is that we think so much of ourselves and our own thoughts. By doing so, we dismiss the power and joy of His Lordship in and over our lives.  The Joy of Discipleship is that it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace that cannot be attained by any other means or method. 

God tells us through the writer of Hebrews 12:10b But God's discipline is always good for us, so that we might share in his holiness. 11 No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening—it's painful! But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way. NLT

We are disciples of Jesus Christ and as disciples, we follow His discipline.  We know that His discipline produces 1.) a harvest of life which is full and satisfying, (John 10:10) 2.) a life firmly rooted in the truth of his teaching empowered  to stand even while hammered by storms, winds and floods of life, (Matthew 7:24-27) and 3.)a  hope beyond anything possible apart from Him, (John 11:25&26)
