By Grace Alone

In Flock we are studying What is a Healthy Church by Mark Dever and the 9 Marks Ministry. The lesson from chapter 12 was on Biblical Discipleship and Growth. It says that we should be working toward church growth as it is prescribed in the Bible. That means growing members, not just numbers. Some people today think that a person can be a “baby Christian” for a whole lifetime. Growth is treated as an optional extra for zealous disciples. But growth is a sign of life. If a tree is alive, it grows. If an animal is alive, it grows. Being alive means growing, and growing means increasing and advancing, at least until death intercedes. This is true discipleship and growth.
