Jesus, undeterred, went right ahead and gave his charge: “ God authorized and commanded me to commission you: Go out and train everyone you meet, far and near, in this way of life, marking them by baptism in the threefold name: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Then instruct them in the practice of all I have commanded you. I’ll be with you as you do this, day after day after day, right up to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20 MSG https://bible.com/bible/97/mat.28.18-20.MSG
Day after day, making disciples. This is a little confronting! Maybe- one day? Someday? Not day after day!
How is this possible? How about make friends with unbelievers and spend time with them every day, showing them what a God-centered life looks like. It is possible.
Today I invited my Muslim neighbor to a women's conference this Friday night. Guess what? She said: "yes!" We walk together on most days. I have been there for her week in week out.
A simple friendship can be a discipline tool. Amen!
