Jesus’ last declaration to His disciples was “Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely, I am with you always, to the very end of the age (Matthew 28:19-20, NIV).” This statement echoes true even today. In order to make disciples one cannot simply go around and just yell “JESUS LOVES YOU BECOME A CHRISTIAN OR BURN IN HELL”.

Each phenotype went through five generations competing against each other for food to determine if they will survive and reproduce. We hypothesized the spoon phenotype would be the most suitable trait to obtain food, therefore being the adaptive trait through evolution. After the simulation, it was confirmed the spoon was the dominant phenotype suggesting natural selection and evolution did occur.

I've heard many invitations to become a Christian and subsequent teaching about what a Christian is that leave out the Biblical mandate to be a disciple. (As a side note, I must clarify that I am referring to those who identify themselves as Christians and may even 'look' Christian but who lack the depth of commitment that comes from being a deny-yourself-daily disciple of Jesus) That being said, I must say that there has been a turn around in the church and a re-focusing on Jesus' call to be disciples. What the church is now discovering is that there are specific things that the church needs to restructure before it can build a culture of discipleship instead of consumer-driven Christians looking to be
