Dear Poseyville Family:
Greetings friends, In this article I want to emphasize discipleship. During this time of the year, with Charge Conference, etc, membership is emphasized quite a bit. However, discipleship is much more important. In the long run it doesn’t really matter if my name or your name is on a Church list somewhere. However, it really does matter how faith drives your discipleship. The brother of Jesus, James, says, ‘faith without works is, is dead.’ Therefore, let’s exercise our faith together because we are disciples, and take our faith, in terms of works, out on the ‘road’. One of the ways in which you can exercise your faith is in the Tuesday Bible discussion group. It is not overcrowded, and just like all our other activities, characters are welcome: everyone is welcome. This Fall we have discussed healthy church attributes and effective leaders. You cannot hardly have a wrong answer. The Poseyville Bible discussion group is simply looking for a few good inspired opinions or good listeners, too. Secondly, you can pray about your commitment to Christ’s ministry as a disciple in His Poseyville Church. During this season the Lay Leadership committee is considering discipleship vacancies in the Church. So, be active in prayer and let your faith drive your work (discipleship).
