Nurturing Spirituality: part 2

In being part of God’s nurturing process, through discipleship there are a couple of things we must remember.

There is A Spectrum of Spirituality

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,  and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew 28:19-20

I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.
 The man who loves his life will lose it, while the man who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.  Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me. John 12:24-26  

Understanding where people are at in their journey is not always easy, but we must ask God to give us insight.  A helpful tool over the years that has been used by believers is the Engel’s Scale.  I think it’s self explanatory, and is very helpful.
