Club Adventist




Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don’t see things the way you do.
And don’t jump all over them every time they do or say something you don’t agree with
– even when it seems that they are strong on opinions but weak in the faith department.
Remember, they have their own history to deal with. Treat them gently. Romans 14.1: The Message

Here is a question I might use to get a Sabbath School class discussion going:

How has discipleship changed since the days of the New Testament believers?
Ultimately, which of the following is true?
You may choose only one

Religious discipleship is very similar to being star-struck with a celebrity.
You may choose only one

The reason I voted False is that the only one worth looking up to is God and that comes with faith and belief and first hand experience.

People are often enamored with a 'celebrity' but all of those 'famous' religious leaders are prone to falling short of His Glory. They can lead one down the wrong path. Only by fixing your eye on Him can one be lead in the right way.

"Only by fixing your eye on Him can one be lead in the right way."

So true, ChildofChrist. It is when we take our eyes off of Christ and look to other people that we cease to be effective disciples.
