If you can remember back to your time in school you might have heard about an experiment known as Pavlov’s dog. The experiment consisted, for the most part, teaching a dog to associate the ringing of a bell with the presentation of food. This was done over and over again. Bell would ring, the dog could come and show signs of hunger, and he’d be fed food. Bell, food. Bell, food. Bell, food. Finally, at the end, Pavlov would ring the bell without food or not during feeding times and the dog would exhibit signs of hunger. This became known as classical conditioning.
Not to take the example to the full extreme, but our discipleship relationship should be like that of Pavlov and his dog when it comes to The Bible and daily situations. We should disciple in such a way that anytime a daily situation occurs, the other person should salivate to turn to God’s Word of guidance and sustainability. All Christians should feed on God’s Word so that we develop a habit of responding.
Being Word fed is the topic Pastor John Samuel Barnett covers today concerning discipleship.

Everyone is looking for purpose. What is the purpose of life? What is my calling in life? Should I do A or B? God’s Word has the answers!
Continuing on looking at committing and and concentrating our entire lives to God, Pastor John Samuel Barnett expounds on Romans 12:2 for the call to renew our minds. “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.”

“Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.” (Matthew 16:24). To what extent are we to come after Christ? To what extent are we to deny ourselves? To what extent are we to take up our cross? To what extent are we to follow Him?
Pastor John Samuel Barnett encourages us to answer 100% to those questions as we are called to commit our entire lives to God.

Pastor John Samuel Barnett continues his message on the factors involved in God provided salvation. When saved, we are called to set apart ourselves for God’s special purpose and work. We are called to set apart our outlook on life. No longer do we look inward towards ourselves and our false idols. We are to unfold and look up to God to guide us where He wants us to go.
