Brown FOLLOWING CHRIST comeafterme.com First Things First 5 © 2017 Nathan E. Brown FOLLOWING CHRIST comeafterme.com 6 © 2017 Nathan E. Brown FOLLOWING CHRIST comeafterme.com Introduction to Discipleship 1) What is a disciple? A) A disciple is a person who desires to learn from and follow after someone else. For Christians, that “someone else” is Jesus. Your goal as a disciple of Jesus is to learn His teachings, model His way of living and become like Him in your thoughts, attitudes, actions and words. B) The master-disciple relationship is something that sounds a little strange to us today. Perhaps the best modern equivalent we can understand and relate to is the coach-player relationship. When you are accepted onto a sports team, you are effectively a disciple of your coach. You place yourself under his authority and agree to do whatever he tells you. Your goal is to learn to think about the game like your coach: to model his attitudes and actions and follow his direction. You are subject to his correction and discipline, and you work hard to earn his praise and respect. C) Being a member of a professional sports team is not a part-time endeavor. It affects every area of your life. It’s the same way with being a disciple of Jesus. It is a life- long commitment that will require you to give 100% in order to be successful. 2) How do I learn how to disciple others? A) The best way to learn how to disciple others is through the experience of being discipled yourself. That is the example Jesus gave us. (1) During His earthly ministry, Jesus chose twelve men to whom He gave special attention and instruction (Luke 6:12–13). He spent around three years living with them, teaching them and developing personal relationships with them. After His resurrection, Jesus commissioned them to go and make disciples just as He had done with them (Matthew 28:18–20). Their years as disciples of Jesus directly affected their ability to carry out His command (2 Peter 1:16–18; 1 John 1:1–3). B) These lessons are designed to be a discipleship experience for you. The goal is for you to be able to take this material and go out and disciple others. 3) Can you give me some practical suggestions for discipling new believers? A) Begin immediately. The devil isn’t going to wait a few weeks before attacking your new converts. You need to be there as soon as possible after conversion. B) Friendship discipling. Most new believers are converted through the witness of a family member or friend. Because of that relationship, you will be the one they turn to for guidance. It will be much easier for them to share and be open with you than with a stranger. That’s why it’s important for you to be able to disciple them. (1) I understand that not everyone has the gift of teaching or is comfortable with the role of discipling someone else. In such cases, the best solution may be for you to act as host for a discipleship class between your new convert and a teacher from your local church. In this way, you will gain the skills and confidence needed to one day do it on your own. 7 © 2017 Nathan E. Brown FOLLOWING CHRIST comeafterme.com C) Setting. If possible, conduct the training in the homes of your new converts. This will make sharing and accountability much easier, since people are most comfortable in their own environment. You can also invite them to your home and take turns with hosting the lessons. D) Size. If you have several new converts being discipled together, try to keep the group size small. If the group is too large, some of the more shy and quiet personalities may be smothered. E) Format. Most discipleship training takes place on a weekly basis (my experience is that monthly meetings are simply not often enough). Try to set aside a specific time each week that you meet. (1) Start by having a snack and sharing your week. Be prepared to address issues that come up during this time. Sometimes a problem will be brought up that should take precedence over the intended lesson. Be sensitive to what your new converts want to talk about. Also, be transparent. Let them know that you struggle with things just like they do. (2) Always begin with prayer. Ask God to open your hearts and minds to His truth. You cannot disciple others without the help and guidance of the Holy Spirit. (3) Cover the material for that week’s lesson. If questions come up during the lesson that you can’t answer, be honest and tell your new converts that you don’t know. Write them down and take them to your pastor. Then share the answers with the group the next week. (4) Conclude with prayer asking God for help throughout the upcoming week. F) Material. This is one of the hardest parts of discipling new converts: What do you teach them? My hope and prayer is that these lessons will be the answer. The material at http://comeafterme.com is designed to take a new convert from baptism to the first stages of growth and maturity in Christ. (1) Not everyone grows at the same rate. Take your time and work on any areas that they may struggle with. (2) Never teach new converts your own personal convictions. Keep the focus on God’s Word and let Him worry about other issues. G) Outside the classroom. Teaching the material in these lessons is only a small part of what it means to disciple someone. You need to be as involved as possible in the life of your new converts. Be available when they need help. Make sure they know you can be called anytime for support and encouragement. Whenever you can, integrate them into your own life and activities (e.g., hunting, fishing, recreation, etc.). H) Take the responsibility seriously. Your attitudes and actions are now an example for your new converts. They will look up to you and imitate your approach to living the Christian life. 8 © 2017 Nathan E. Brown FOLLOWING CHRIST comeafterme.com Salvation 1) Why do I need to be saved? A) You were created by God to love and serve Him (Matthew 22:37–40). His will for your life is clearly revealed in His Word the Bible. Within the Bible are written all of the commands that God expects you to obey—it is His law (John 14:15).

  • Political Engagement Through Text Sound Poetry
    Wesleyan ♦ University Political Voices: Political Engagement Through Text Sound Poetry By Celeste Hutchins Faculty Advisor: Ron Kuivila A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Wesleyan University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. Middletown, Connecticut May 2005 Text Sound Poetry I created several pieces using manipulated speech recordings, starting in the fall of 2003. After completing some of these pieces, I became aware of Text Sound Poetry as a well-defined genre involving similar passages between language and sound. To find out more about this genre, I listened to Other Mind’s re-release of 10 + 2: 12 American Text Sound Pieces, the re-released OU archives and Terre Thaemlitz’s album Interstices. Text Sound seems to be especially well suited to political expression. Often, a political work suffers a tension between the political/text content and the musical content. Either the political message or the music often must be sacrificed. However, in Text Sound, the text content is the musical content. Composers like Sten Hanson, Steve Reich and Terre Thaemlitz are able to create pieces where complaints about the Vietnam War, police brutality, and gender discrimination form the substance of the piece. To engage the piece is to engage the political content. Reich’s pieces are less obvious than Hanson and Thaemlitz. The loop process he uses in “Its Gonna Rain” is auditorially interesting, but the meaning of the piece is not immediately clear to a modern listener. Many discussions of his pieces eliminate the political content and focus on the process. Before I did research on this piece I was disturbed by the implications of a white composer taking the words of an African American and obscuring them until the content was lost to the process.

  • GOV 208: Mass Media in American Politics
    GOV 208: Mass Media in American Politics Spring 2007 Adams 208 Instructor: Michael Franz Email: [email protected] Phone: 207-798-4318 (office) Office: 203 Hubbard Hall Office Hours: Tuesday, 10am-12pm Thursday, 2:30pm-4:30pm And by appointment This course examines the role of the mass media in American politics. The course is split into three sections. First , we consider the media as an institution, as the “fourth branch” of government. We ask, what is news? Who is a journalist? How has the media changed over the course of American political development, and specifically with the rise of the Internet? Second , we consider the media in action— that is, how journalists cover the news. Is the media biased? How would (do) you know? What is the relationship between the media and government? How do the media frame the events they cover? Finally , we investigate media effects. What are the effects of media coverage on citizens—more specifically on citizens’ trust in government and political behavior? How do citizens respond to the nature of news coverage? Throughout the course we will spend considerable time considering the impact of different media forms—for example, blogging, talk radio, and entertainment media. Course Requirements There are six major components to your grade: 1. Five reading reactions (15 points; each worth 3 points)—these are short reactions of about 2 pages (double-spaced). I will evaluate these on the basis of how well you react to the readings (namely, originality of thought and conciseness). There are no right or wrong answers, but I will challenge you to think logically.

    APPENDIX A News Coverage of Immigration 2007: A political story, not an issue, covered episodically—Content Methodology “News Coverage of Immigration 2007: A political story, not an issue, covered episodically” is a report based on additional analysis of content already aggregated in PEJ’s weekly News Coverage Index (NCI). The NCI examines 48 news outlets in real time to determine what is being covered and what is not. The complete methodology of the weekly NCI can be found at http://www.journalism.org/about_news_index/methodology. The findings are then released in a weekly NCI report. All coding is conducted in-house by PEJ’s staff of researchers continuous throughout the year. Examining the news agenda of 48 different outlets in five media sectors, including newspapers, online, network TV, cable TV and radio, the NCI is designed to provide news consumers, journalists, and researchers with hard data about what stories and topics the media are covering, the trajectories of major stories and differences among news platforms. This report focused primarily on stories on immigration within the Index. For this report, all stories that had been already coded as being on immigration were isolated and further analyzed to locate the presence of immigration over a year’s worth of news, and how immigration coverage ebbed and flowed throughout 2007. This provided us with the answers to questions, such as which aspects of the immigration issue did the media most tune into?; what was not covered?; and who provided the most coverage? The data for this analysis came from a year’s worth of content analysis conducted by PEJ for the NCI.

INTRODUCTION We resent very deeply the false war crimes charges [Senator John Kerry] made coming back from Vietnam [in 1971 and repeated in the book Tour of Duty.] [W]e think those have cast aspersion on [American veterans] both living and dead. We think that they are unsupportable. We intend to bring the truth to the American people. We believe that based on our experience with him, he is totally unfit to be commander in chief.1 ¶1 In 2004, U.S. Senator John Kerry was defeated by incumbent George W. Bush in the race for the United States presidency by a margin of less than 2.5% of the popular vote.2 Political pundits have offered numerous explanations for Kerry’s defeat: his alleged flip-flopping on the Iraq War, his perceived lofty New England intellectualism, and his reported lack of appeal to the influential Evangelical Christians on morality issues.3 One of the most widely recognized reasons for Kerry’s 2004 loss, however, credits the involvement of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth (Swift Boaters).

What Do We Owe Future Generations? Neil H. Buchanan* I. Introduction: Our Grandchildren and Us Every decision that we make today can either directly or indi- rectly affect the interests of future generations, both those generations already born and those to be born in the decades and centuries after we are gone. Even if it is unlikely that many of our decisions (espe- cially the smaller ones) will affect the general course of history, the possibility of doing so imposes a profound obligation on us at least to consider how our policy choices might affect our children, our grandchildren, and those who will follow. Not every policy choice must elevate the concerns of future generations over those of current generations, of course, but a conscious acknowledgement that we are making decisions for people who cannot speak for their own interests creates a moral imperative to give voice to the voiceless. This Article explores the content of that moral imperative, find- ing that we currently fall well short of our responsibilities in many areas but—surprisingly—that we might well be overemphasizing the interests of future generations in others.
