When Christ left this earth to ascend into Heaven, He left us with the command to make disciples. Following Christ and being a fisher of men go hand in hand. Unfortunately we are living in an “orphan age” where people think they can just go to church, give their money, and never be part of the family. Spiritual growth comes from being discipled and then discipling. We can see how this worked when the apostles started churches, they continued to teach and disciple their spiritual “children” so that those “children” could grow up and raise their own spiritual “children” and so on. Being a follower of Christ means that you are part of the family and can no longer live as a detached orphan attending an orphanage. You must get involved and pursue Christ’s call to make disciples.
