As Christians we commit to live as disciples, following Jesus Christ on what I call the Way of Discipleship.  I teach and believe the most effective way of living as a disciple is by following The Great Commandments:

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength … You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these. Mk 12:30-31
 
As I read and study and meditate on this passage of Scripture, I find that Jesus has clearly told us the most important aspect of the spiritual life is LOVE!

The Way of Discipleship:
Loving God  We worship
Love Self  We study the Bible & Pray
Love Others  We serve in the Church & the World

Worship + 2 = Discipleship

A disciple is a learner.  As we learn and grow our faith is formed.  Faith Formation is the process of being shaped according to the image of Christ by the gracious working of the Holy Spirit for the sake of the world.  The Way of Discipleship is what we do (worship, study, and service) but faith formation is what God does within us as a result of our efforts. 
 
See you on “The Way!”
