Jesus said if you love me obey my commandments. In America we tend to be knowledge focused/increasing knowledge rather than action and obeying the scriptures. Legalism might focus on an outward system forcing an internal change, while obedience is an internal response which creates an outward change. We think DMM focusing on simple obedience is more a response to the Spirit’s leading rather than trying to force people to do what God says. We also think spiritual maturity is measured by love…which says something to our maturation as Christians if we tend towards knowing things rather than doing things. Love increases as we obey Jesus. These are a few of the ideas discussed as we close out this mini series.

In this episode we share a lesson we are learning from a recent DMM Habits Training class looking at the habit of Discovery. The class was looking at John 3:16-21 together and verses 17 says...Jesus didn't come into the world to condemn the world...

Many of us believe God wants to seek and save the lost, but what does that belief do? As Jeff says in this episode...It’s not what you believe. It’s what you live out. It’s what we apply. It’s what we obey that makes the difference. Get in touch if you need some encouragement to persevere in faith for DMM in your context.

Today we talk about small steps of obedience lead to larger and more sustained walking with the Lord. Learning to follow the Master and his leading through the Holy Spirit is a mark of a disciple maker. Learning to follow Jesus in small steps of obedience helps train us for the sustained living wherever and whenever He wants to send us.
