10 Points of Discipleship

In the '80s a couple guys from the National Prayer Breakfast movement were teaching some practical things about following Jesus to my friends and I in a discipleship house.

David Coe and John Croft would spend many weeks instilling in us 10 principles we could use our entire lives. Things like putting God before self, even before others. Being a man of the Scriptures. Being a man who bears much fruit.

But the first principle was being a man of unity. David & John taught how Jesus was one with the Father, and wanted us to be of one mind, contending for the same thing, being peaceable and avoiding
strife.

Now that I have three teenagers and seven children, I've dusted off my notes from those teaching sessions and am teaching the
"10 Points" to my tribe at home. There are a number of gifts I want to leave my children: one is the memory of me loving my wife, and another is a good foundation in Christ.
