Making Disciples

 Making disciples 

The apostle Paul wrote,

“Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and to show true humility toward all men.”Titus 3:1,2.

Here is something many evangelicals here in North America don’t listen to. They don’t listen to it, because they believe the lie that the United States and Canada are Christian nations. Which they are not! In believing this lie they speak out against a duly elected government every time that government does something they object to. Which at times could be considered slander. Especially when they speak out against a duly elected official.

We as Christians are not here to tell a government what to do. Jesus didn’t nor did any of the apostles. They lived within the boundaries set out for them by the Roman government. And while all but one died for their faith. It was their faith they died for. NOT for speaking against the government.

The apostle Paul stated,

“What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? 

Are you not to judge those inside?  

God will judge those outside. 

Expel the wicked man from among you.” 1 Corinthians 5:12,13.

Jesus gave those who believe in him a clear message, stating,

“Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.  

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”Matthew 28:18-20.

Are you doing this?

Please think about it.
