Seeing and Being Seen: The Necessity of Relational Discipleship
[Scripture] teaches us the truth: we want those we disciple to know: God sees. His seeing is essential to his relationship with his creation. In the first few pages of Genesis, God sees the work of his hands—the heavens, the creeping things, the birds of the air, man and woman—and glories in it; he sees Adam and Eve in the shame of their sin and is moved to clothe them; he sees the blood of Abel which cries out to him from the ground and he confronts Cain; he sees the wickedness of Noah’s day and is grieved to destruction. And this is just the very beginning.

Our living room in this picture reminds me that it does not take many resources to make disciples.

These were the eight young adults that spent their summer ministering in their congregations as interns. This is a summer they will long remember and may possibly be one that changes the course of their lives.
