K evin taught about the reproducibility of discipleship. He said that just as Paul discipled Timothy, and Timothy then discipled others, Kevin is to disciple J.T. who is then to disciple others. When we think rightly about God, our authority to disciple is authenticated in Jesus' name. He said the DNA of discipleship is Jesus, and that it is easy to fall into idolatry by placing value on anything other than that which should rightly be placed on Jesus. In quoting A.W. Tozer, he said that we have lost the ability to imagine how great God is. Therefore, it is easier to imagine that other things are as great as He and thus to fall into idolatry.
In the light of this sermon, I am challenged to see if I am placing undue value on anyone or anything. To do so is idolatry. Are the hours I spend in front of the T.V. an indication of a heart that has lost the ability to realize how big God is? Do I mistakenly think that time spent with Him can't measure up to some hokey T.V. show or even an excellent movie? Can I truly view myself as an idolater, or do I think so highly of myself that I don't think that is even possible. Open my eyes Lord that I may see You in Your glory. The things of the world will grow strangely dim…
