In By the Way, pastor and author Derek Vreeland reframes everything we've been told about Christianity and what it means to follow Jesus. Discipleship isn't an add-on. Discipleship means joining God's joyful mission of reconciliation on earth, not just saving souls for the afterlife. Following Jesus is more like taking a long walk in the woods than sitting in a classroom. Living by the way takes practice-and that's the point.

Jesus’ command to “go make disciples” is the foundational precept of the Great Commission. Pastor Stan Gleason explores the church’s critical mandate to make disciples from biblical, theoretical, and practical viewpoints. An accomplished disciple maker himself, the author encourages every believer to make disciples.

If you are a child of God who still commits sin deliberately, committing the same sin over and over, it is because your eyes have never been opened to see that sin is a knife thrust willingly into God's heart; your eyes have never been opened to see the harm that sin causes in every domain of your life.

Part one of the book reminds us that an individual or a church can teach sound doctrine, be faithful to the gospel, be morally upright and hard-working, and yet be lacking love and therefore, be displeasing to Christ. Love can grow cold while outward religious performance appears acceptable - even praiseworthy. Part two of Love or Die presents practical ways to cultivate love in the local church, including chapters that challenge us to study love, pray for love, teach love, model love, guard love, and practice love.

The messages in this book were given as the last of a series of meetings called leadership courses for the people of God in Cameroon. At the time of preparing the messages I felt that I owed it to the Lord and his people to say all that was on my heart in case it was not possible for the audience to hear me in the future. I thought I should say my last word to the Church. Here it is. I have borrowed extensively from the thoughts of Watchman Nee in writing the message “The Cross and Our Priorities.” I believe that the Cross is central in the life and ministry of the believer.

There is one fundamental test of love. There is one way of proving whether a person loves the Lord or not. This test is obedience. Those who love the Lord obey Him. All who are disobedient to Him do not love Him. In this book, we present the nine marks of a disciple, an extended excerpt from The Making of Disciples by the author. They are drawn from the Word of God. Listen to each one carefully and answer the questions that follow.

One day, my life changed forever. What was the turning point? I realized the importance and power of discipleship.

The thought of many is that when a person is saved, God forgives him and wipes away all the consequences of his past sins - that he is free. His freedom is so complete that he has no responsibility to rightly terminate with the past and to carry out restitution to those he wronged then. This audiobook clearly examines that way of thinking in the light of the Scriptures and sets out the biblical message for those who have overcome and those who want to overcome.

At one time or another, most Christians struggle with depression, discouragement, or despondency. When this happens, spiritual joy is the great need.

That is because a right understanding of the gospel produces the humility that motivates a life of continual thanksgiving.

Ralph Neighbour repeatedly says, “Theology must breed methodology.”Joel Comiskey has arrived at the same conclusion. Biblical truth is the only firm foundation for anything we do. Without a biblical base, we don’t have a strong under-pinning upon which we can hang our ministry and philosophy. We can plod through most anything when we know that God is stirring us to behave biblically.

We know that the goal of the Christian life is to glorify God and to enjoy him forever. While this is God's ultimate plan, does he have a particular purpose for the cell-based church? I've been wrestling with this question for the past 22 years. This question confronts me every time I coach a pastor or pastors. In preparation for coaching, I ask myself, "What is my principal objective in helping this pastor?", "Where am I guiding this church?", and "What am I trying to do?". I've come to the conclusion that the primary goal of cell ministry is to make disciples who make disciples.

While we have a number of elder brothers and friends who may speak into our lives at some level, we do not have many spiritual fathers who watch for our souls. There are those among us that believe we can only have one spiritual father at a time, while there are others who believe that we can only have one spiritual father in our lifetime. Spiritual fathers are emissaries who have been sent to represent the way of the Father’s heart to us. They provide oversight and may be directly or indirectly responsible for us being birthed into the Kingdom.

For many pastors and church leaders, ministry is an exhausting, frustrating, and even fruitless endeavor.

After almost five decades of service to the King and His Domain, I have concluded that the institutionally controlled religious system has hijacked most of Christendom. The “religion of Christianity” has been established on a multi-layered foundation with a construct incapable of fulfilling the greater Kingdom purpose of Yahweh. The reality of foundation separation and structural damage has reached a critical mass that could result in catastrophic failure and implosion.
