Bill Hull’s passion has been to help the church return to its disciple making roots and he considers himself a discipleship evangelist. This God-given desire has manifested itself in twenty years of pastoral service and the authorship of ten books. His first book, Jesus Christ Disciplemaker, is celebrating 20 years with a new edition. The Disciple Making Pastor and the Disciple Making Church are two successive books which make up his popular disciple making trilogy. These books have provided the church with a new paradigm for disciple making.
Bill,
Great post! Just a few days I came across this quote by Ken Vanhoozer "The Bible will only be heard as God's Word...if we are enabled to hear it as such by the Holy Spirit." Further, the understanding of the Word is not something separable from the application of it in action. Application completes understanding." That last sentence is so basic and deep at the same time. Could it be that no matter how right the hermeneutic, that the reader will never truly grasp the meaning without obedience?
Thanks, Rob
