Big Stick or Loving Hand: ACCOUNTABILITY IN DISCIPLEMAKING

Bob Gilliam  T-NET President and Church Consultant

"As we inched along in wildly disorganized traffic during my recent trip to the Philippines, I had a lot of time to reflect on this matter. The Filipinos have excellent traffic laws. However, many of the police are corrupt, and these laws are not enforced. As a result, drivers on six-lane streets make U-turns from the outside lanes. They stop in the middle of busy intersections. They ignore red lights. Stop signs (if they exist) are a joke. This type of selfish driving snarls traffic and causes trips of less than ten miles to take over an hour. Trying to make disciples without appropriate accountability will have a similar effect in your church. It's human nature . . ."

Jesus Christ Disciple Maker @ Twenty Years of Age

How does Bill feel about his groundbreaking book after two decades have passed?

Bill Hull  T-NET Founder and Author

"What did Peter, James, John and Phillip hear when Jesus said 'Make Disciples?' I bet it wasn’t going through a sixteen week fill in the blanks Bible study. To understand what first century discipleship was like we must return to those times long enough to restore the context. John the Baptist had disciples and so did the Pharisees. It was common for young men to be cause-oriented and follow those who inspired them. Every Jewish boy by age thirteen had studied and memorized much of the Pentateuch and The Prophets. If he were among the best and the brightest he would be accepted into a Rabbinical School. There he would come under the authority of his teacher. If you were not at the top of your class you would return to the professions of Shepherd, Fisherman, Carpenter and Farmer. You can see, then, how Jesus wasn’t a product of the system and He chose His followers from outside of the system . . ."
