Welcome
The
DISCIPLE NEWSLETTER
is a
Christian publication promoting personal involvement in the
Word of God. Since Pentecost, the Holy Spirit is with every
believer as our teacher, guide, protector and comforter. Our
goal is to encourage a more full understanding of His
presence in our everyday lives as spoken of in
1
Peter 2:9 and
Revelation
1:6
THE
COMMISSION
Many times, Jesus invites
us to follow Him. Mark and Luke record similar versions to
what is recorded in Matthew,
"Then Jesus
said to His disciples, "If anyone desires to come after Me,
let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow
Me."
The dictionary defines a
disciple as anyone who embraces and assists in spreading the
teachings of another. The emphasis is upon the word
“anyone.” Anyone who desires — anyone.
DISCIPLE is intended to
encourage you and inspire you with the hope that comes from
living His Word. We want help to empower you and open the
way before you. We want to assist you to embrace your
calling to follow the Master — to willingly take up
your spiritual commission.
John 7:37-39
In the last day, that great day of the feast,
Jesus stood and cried, saying,
If any man thirst,
let him come unto me, and drink.
He that believeth on me,
as the scripture hath said,
out of his belly shall flow rivers of living
water.
(But this spake he of the
Spirit,
which they that believe on him should receive:
for the Holy Ghost was not yet given;
because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came;
and they that were ready went in with him to the
marriage:
and the door was shut. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
Watch therefore,
for ye know neither the day nor the hour
wherein the Son of man cometh.
Matthew 25:10-13
