We currently have 6 weeks before the Legacy conference and I just want to share some insight I heard on discipleship. Kathryn Vaughan answered the following question: “Why do you disciple women?” Her response was a great reminder for me. First we disciple because God is Lord in our lives as seen in Matthew 28:18-20, He gives us the commission to make disciples because He has all authority. We see in Titus 2:3-5 women are instructed to teach younger women in various areas of womanhood. So because He is Lord, my response is to live a lifestyle that obeys His command. In 1 Thessalonians 2:8 we read that because of the love that Paul had for the breathren he shared not only his life but the gospel of God with them. We also see in Mark 3:14 that Jesus said that His disciples would be with Him so that He could send them out. I am supposed to have a love for the women in my life that I want to share my life with them and the word of God. Lastly because God is Lord that relationship directs my lifestyle which allows me to leave a legacy. In Deut. 6 we see in the first two verses that the people were instructed to teach the commandments to their children. In turn their children would fear (reverence) the Lord. Also in 1 Thessalonians 3:8 we see Paul saying that he truly lives knowing that the brethren are standing firm in the Lord. We have such an awesome mandate from Christ. We are to pour out our lives and the word of God on those around us. I pray you will look over these verses and allow God to speak to you in this area.
