The Cost of Discipleship

Christina Chahyadinata Core 100 Rose Postma MSIG #2¬¬¬: Kingdom October 13th, 2015 Reflecting on class readings and discussions, what is your informed understanding of God’s Kingdom? What do you not understand about the Kingdom of God and how are you wrestling with these questions? What are the pressing needs in the world/Kingdom of God today? Continuing the previous topic of MSIG that is Identity, I will further explain my informed understanding about God’s kingdom and how does it significantly

Vivid images, from visions, to detailed explanations and accounts of places and events, to symbolic imagery used to explain parables, or teach and encourage the first century churches are driving forces within the Biblical text. Metaphorical language, by virtue of the fact that it preserves the literal meaning of the symbol, while intending an analogous secondary meaning, is able to communicate profound truths about reality, mainly by creating an alternative, symbolic way of seeing and understanding

“I have carefully and thoroughly read the entire book as assigned.” Throughout David Platt’s book, “Radical : Taking Back Your Faith From the American Dream”, he encourages the reader to take a look at their life and see whether or not Christ is all they need to impact their life for Jesus in a radical way. He asks the reader to carefully examine their life, and see if there are areas that perhaps the Lord would desire for change to take place. Platt challenges the Church to step up and see the

The Current Religion of the American Economy as a Barrierand Substitute for Christian Living Thenature of this paper, which deals with the presence of a subconscious set ofparticularly American beliefs, inherently involves more reflection than thegathering of data. Whatsimportant is the way we live, not the historical manufacturing of facts whichis more evidence, not description, of the current Religion of the AmericanEconomy. And while most ofthese truths should be self evident

SELECTING A DISCIPLE-MAKER’S MESSAGE Introduction Message selection, for the disciple-maker, is an all-important endeavor. Effective disciple making does not just simply happen. Happenstance cannot be and should not be the modus operandi of one who desires to reach people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. People are fragile and the Gospel is powerful. God has entrusted his fragile people with a powerful Gospel message. As people who have been entrusted with such a powerful Gospel, we should

properly use the program. The programmer is required to stay updated with the rest of the team, to ensure no outdated information is used, as well as to learn more information about the program itself. Often this is the way that I feel Biblical discipleship is enacted in my life. I am asked to help build the church, bringing people to God, as well as to work with the community of Christ to further grow, as well as to help others learn and

Cost and Quality in Health care: Incrisis Hospital has largely been concerned with the increase in the number of calls from its patients about the quality of health care from various departments at the hospital including oncology, X-ray/lab, surgery, and emergency room departments. The health facility is an acute hospital established in 2006 and has been successful in most of its operations despite of the recent increasing discontent from its patients.

Before his death, Bonhoeffer recorded his views on ethics in his works such as “The Cost of Discipleship” and “No Rusty Swords”.

measure of the fullness of Christ. In other words, to become mature and Christlike. Disciples and disciplers understand and submit to the Lordship of Christ. There is a great section on this issue in Luke 14:25–33. In my Bible it is sub-titled, “The cost of being a disciple.” Jesus is to be the Master and Lord of our relationships, our possessions, and our very lives. “Anyone who does not carry his cross cannot be My disciple” (Luke 14:27). That’s a
