The reason the Christian faith has not transformed American culture is that it has not significantly transformed the majority of Christians. The American church has taught a gospel that most often has been unaccompanied by discipleship.When the gospel loses discipleship, it loses the permission and the ability to teach people deeply. This eliminates the process Jesus commanded, “ teach them to obey everything I have commanded you.” The teaching Jesus commanded is applied in three ways in local ministry, philosophy, program and curriculum.  Philosophy is the biblical understanding, program is the infrastructure , and curriculum is the content of what is taught. It is the church’s omission of this Christ commanded activity that has significantly contributed to the deconstruction of truth as a category and to the relativistic society that is eroding morality and human character from within. We are losing our country and the foundation of truth,reality, and personal responsibility. The only way back is through the people who have reason to listen to and obey God, Christians. The church is the world’s largest organization, its members already live, work and play in every part of society. They have access to the people and systems of the culture, the challenge is to transform them from merely residing in strategic places, to become influential disciples of Christ. The mission is to return the church to its disciple making roots.
