How can we make disciples instead of letting new believers or curious Christ-seekers fall through the cracks? I think it begins with becoming consumed with glorifying God by loving others first and not being so self-consumed that we have our priorties mixed up. It takes personal relationships and effort, which are more challenging than attending "happy-faced" activities that revolve around our own needs. It means getting our hands dirty and helping to meet needs in order to show Christ's love. Doing that is not always fun and happy but it is life-changing and rewarding from both ends in my experience. Keep the great posts coming. I keep checking. Come on Jackie, Neal, and any others!
