Enjoy Life, Enjoy God

FURTHER

January 26, 2011

"When do we get there, Daddy?" Many of us have stories about such questions. As Christ followers, when do we get there?

Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ to further the faith of God's elect and their knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness...
                                                   - Titus 1:1 TNIV

Discipleship is about growing to follow Christ toward maturity. Paul describes his ministry here to young Titus:
1. to further the faith
2. to further the knowledge of truth that leads to godliness

This sounds like a content of faith plus growing lifestyle.

"Further." We're not done. I've heard it said, "You're either growing or dying." I'm not sure about the truth of this, but discipleship-wise, I'm pretty sure it rings true. More? Yes, further!

Joyfully,
