My name is Keith Giles. I love to write so that people can know Jesus and experience His life in their own.
So, I started this blog to help people understand who Jesus is, and how He reveals what the Father is really like.
This is a safe place to talk about all those questions you've had about the Bible, and Christianity. It's also a place to learn how to put the words of Jesus into practice.
Thanks Keith for reinforcing biblically the discipleship process that is so different from the western churches "walk the aisle" process. Have a great week!
Keith, Awesome! I've been living this out for a number of years now. Continuing to grow in loving Him & others. This message was so simply said that I sent the link to many of my friends including our two pastors. All the responses have been super positive including specific areas that were impactful. I especially liked the straight forwardness of saying discipleship can't be learned in a classroom.
What other types of topics do you see effective in a classroom environment? I run into lots of good will saints who love to "teach", wanting a platform to pass on their knowledge of God. In doing so they feel those attending are now equipped and need to learn the next thing...and the cycle continues with (from my view) little to no actual life changes in those attending.
I think you can teach the Scriptures in a classroom style setting, but dialog is much more effective for memory retention and putting what we learn into practice is even more important.
