Does God have a Quality Control Test?
Okay, so… let’s say Jesus actually came to your church. Like any serious business CEO, Jesus has a minimum product specification requirement. The question is – do we as God’s QC Managers use it in our ministries? (Ephesians 4:11-16)
Body Building
Is Your Church a “body” builder? Programs are good, but only so far as they contribute to the overall growth and maturity of the saints in your church. Jesus only cares about healthy members of the body, building one another into maturity in Christ.
Making Disciples
Jesus gave us His Final Specs: Mature Disciples – baptised, instructed, trained and equipped. “Teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” (Matthew 28:18-19)
Sending Reproducers
Healthy things reproduce themselves. Disciples make disciples. If your church is not reproducing disciples, perhaps you should ask God what is blocking your discipleship process?
Copy His Specifications
“that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and knowledge of the Son of God and become mature. “
(Ephesians 4:12-13)
Commit To His Details
Jesus asked us to “make disciples (not converts) of all nations… teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.”
(Matthew 28:18-20)
Control Final Output
As the Leaders and shepherds of God’s people, we will give account to God for the QUALITY CONTROL we help Him achieve .
(Ephesians 4:11-12)
