The spiritual discipleship | diet 1


 Ye call me Master and Lord: and you say well; for so I am. (John 13:13 KJV)

 Jesus Christ is Lord of all. Acts 10:36

 The question of authority is one of the burning issues of our times. It is challenged in every sphere; in family, church, school, and community. This revolt against constituted authority has been responsible for the disastrous breakdown in law enforcement, with a consequent upsurge in crime and violence. Without some central authority, society will disintegrate into chaos and anarchy. Every ship must have a captain, every kingdom a king, and every home a head if they are to function aright. If this is true of society in general, it is no less true in the kingdom of Mansoul, as Bunyan termed it in the lives of individual men and women. The crucial question to answer is, “In whose hands does the final authority rest?” For the Christian there are only two alternatives. The authority rests in the Master’s hands or in mine. Scripture leaves us in no doubt as to who should hold it “[He] is Lord of all."

Most of us never identify faith when it comes to raising a family. I am sure it is a great part of training any family. It will not work in the pulpit if it does not work at your house. Lots of people only want pulpit faith, but God is looking at your bedroom; He knows all about what is going on behind closed doors. Abraham did not send Isaac to the learned, liberated university of Sodom. He did not study chemistry in the classes of Gomorrah wh...
