There is a fantastic post over at Simple Church Journal that ties in with my post earlier about creating Christians and not Disciples.
This explains why Jesus did not ask us to go and “make gatherings or churches.” He did not ask us to go and “make house churches.” He said, “go and make disciples.” This shift from starting gatherings to making disciples (who go and make disciples) goes to the very heart of the matter. Discipling viral disciplers is the end game. This places us squarely in the midst of reproductive life that the kingdom is intrinsically about. We become movement-starters not church-starters. We release disciples who will influence the world throughout their lifetime and beyond as those they disciple disciple still others.
The article by Roger Thoman on a site that is dedicated to House Churches goes to the heart of what will drive the revolution of Love (a movement of Jesus) that the World needs now! Viral discipleship as Roger calls it.
Please go have a read and leave a comment and I would love to hear what you think about this.
