The Detachment of Discipleship - Part 1

September 15, 2023

Dr. Stanley states that in every biblical passage where discipleship is mentioned, so is the principle of detachment. The key idea is that in order to be a disciple, we must sever or disentangle anything from our lives that holds us back from fully yielding our lives to God.

In this message, Dr. Stanley describes the “badge” of true discipleship as loving one another. We are called to love others not as we love ourselves, but as God loves us. It is this badge of love that we wear every day of our lives and that sets us apart from the world.

Many people believe, and rightly so, that God is a giving God. He loves to give His children good gifts! At the same time, believers are called to love God with all that we are—our heart, mind, and strength (Deut. 6:5). To be a true disciple requires our devotion.

Your life is like a never-before traveled trail, and each one of us is on a journey. Do you have someone who is guiding you, helping you along? Do you know what trail you are on and where you are going? We can travel on the path that God has prepared for us, or we can take a different path of our own choosing. Psalm 32:8-9 teaches that we need a guide who knows the path and the best direction to go in life.

In Exodus 17, the Israelites face an enemy bent on destroying them. As Joshua led the army in battle, Moses sat on the hilltop holding the staff of God above his head.

Prayer is the place where we win or lose our fights, and God intends for us to have victory.

Dr. Charles Stanley

September 25, 1932 – April 18, 2023

Dr. Charles F. Stanley was the senior pastor of First Baptist Church Atlanta for more than fifty years. He was also the founder of In Touch Ministries and a New York Times best-selling author, who wrote more than seventy books encouraging people to seek Jesus as their Savior and know Him as their wise and loving Lord. 

Known to audiences around the world through his wide-reaching TV and radio broadcasts, Stanley modeled his 65 years of ministry after the apostle Paul’s message in Acts 20:24: “Life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about God’s mighty kindness and love.”
