The document discusses the importance of intentional discipleship in churches. It notes that while many churches say they believe in making disciples, few are actually effective at doing so. Several experts are quoted highlighting issues like growth without depth, Christianity without discipleship, and believers being indistinguishable from non-believers. The document advocates for a more intentional focus on discipleship processes and defines discipleship as occurring through intentional, strategic efforts rather than just the existence of a church.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

3. The State of the Church Why Intentional Discipleship is Important
4. While most churches "believe" in making disciples, very few are effectively making them. Bob Gilliam the Problem President T-Net International
5. the Problem “ In some places the church is growing strongly, but even there the problem is that of growth without depth . In short, the church lacks proper discipleship… Our zeal to go wider has not been matched by a commitment to go deeper.” John Stott First International Consultation on Discipleship, Eastbourne, England.
6. the Problem “ Christianity without discipleship is always Christianity without Christ .” Dietrich Bonhoeffer “ The Cost of Discipleship” (p. 67)
7. the Problem “ Enough of the church has accepted a non-discipleship Christianity to render it ineffective at its primary task : the transformation of individuals and communities into the image of Christ.” Bill Hull Founder T-Net International
8. the Problem “ It is hard for non-Christians to understand Christianity since few born again individuals model a biblical faith…. Believers are largely indistinguishable from non-believers in how they think and live.” George Barna “ Growing True Disciples” (p. 63)
11. the Problem “ Discipleship does not happen simply because a church exists. It occurs when there is an intentional and strategic thrust to facilitate spiritual maturity.” George Barna “ Growing True Disciples” (p. 47)
12. the Problem “ There is a tremendous need for a more intentional focus on the discipleship process and for definition to the desired outcomes of such a process. Given the proper motivation, it seems that most believers would be willing to commit to a more demanding regimen of spiritual development.” George Barna “ Growing True Disciples” (p. 47)

34. Church Warehouse vs Factory Warehouse Church Factory Church Goal To collect and store material without negative changes, and to keep it in storage as long as possible. To obtain raw material, process it into a more valuable product and get it out into the world as quickly as possible. Purpose of Pastor To collect material into the warehouse, store it in small rooms, and try to keep it there in good condition. To act as a foreman to lead factory workers. To get as much raw material from outside the factory as possible. To change it and get it back out of the factory. Needed Inside Many rooms and a small maintenance staff. A process for material to go through, machinery (intentional programs) to transform the material. Trained workers to run the machinery. Results Material inside doesn’t change.
