Welcome to Every Thought Captive, I’m Phil Steiger, pastor at Quail Lake Community Church.
Dallas Willard’s new book, The Great Omission, opens with this observation: “The New Testament is a book about disciples, by disciples, and for disciples.” Part of Willard’s point in this book is to rejoin two concepts that are often pulled apart. To be a Christian is to be a disciple.
Discipleship is not reserved for the super spiritual. In fact, the act of being a follower of Christ is the first and most fundamental request made of believers in the New Testament. As far as the early church was concerned being a disciple was not optional if you wanted to become a Christian. They believed their entire lives belonged to Christ.
Ultimately, following Christ is about learning to live my life as if he were living it. If you haven’t been to church recently, we at Quail Lake encourage you to reingage and make your way back toward Christ and a life in him—and, obviously, we would love to see you there.
