Do you have any spiritual “children”?

Published on Updated on Discipleship, Evangelism, Ministry, New Testament

Paul saw certain people as his spiritual children. Maybe led them to faith in Christ. Or maybe he trained them as disciples. Do you have any spiritual children?

 

 

INTRODUCTION

 

Many Christians avoid ministering to non-Christians through the ministry of Evangelism. They avoid training new believers through the ministry of Discipleship.

For those reasons, they have no spiritual children.

However, the New Testament calls us to practice those ministries. It calls us to have spiritual children.

What can you start doing now, so as to make it possible to have spiritual children in the future?
