A moment ago, I took a writing break under the canopy of our hundred-year-old trees. I am working on a new book about measuring our success in disciple-making (it’s a fun book.) But, as I stood there thanking God for my journey, I got distracted. Now, back in my office listening to Maverick City worship, overwhelmed in worship, I am still distracted by that new thought. So, let me get it off my chest so I can get back to the book. Here it is –

There is a science to making disciples.

We trust science every day. There is science behind our cars and their safety systems. There is science behind the medicines and doctors we trust. There is science behind the financial decisions we make. There is science behind baking cakes. Even simple appliances, like your toaster, are based on scientific discovery.
