    Discipleship: Following the Model of Jesus in the Local Church

    Get PDF
    George Barna has researched the state of discipleship in the American church. His results reveal that Most believers say their faith matters, but few invest much energy in the pursuit of spiritual growth. The spiritual growth he is referring to requires effective discipleship. His research indicates that most church members agree with the tenants of the Christian faith, but very few are applying those truths to their daily lives. If the current discipleship process is not producing mature disciples (as it appears it is not), there are two possible explanations. Either the process itself is flawed, or those leading the process fail to follow the process correctly. The premise of this research is that the leadership is flawed because they are not following the model Jesus provided in Scripture. The research will be accomplished by examining the progression of the discipleship process, beginning with the record of the model Jesus provided in scripture up to modern texts and research on the topic. There have been many eras of the church throughout history, and each era had a specific emphasis. This research will attempt to discover whether there was a consistent emphasis on the model of discipleship emulated by Jesus Christ through those eras

AQR scores for 2021 are based on 15 elements in four major areas that focus on airline performance aspects important to air travel consumers over the calendar year of 2020. The Airline Quality Rating 2021 is a summary of month-by-month quality ratings for U.S. airlines that are required to report performance by virtue of having at least 0.05% of domestic scheduled-service passenger revenue during 2020. Using the Airline Quality Rating system of weighted averages and monthly performance data in the areas of on-time arrivals, involuntary denied boardings, mishandled baggage, and a combination of 12 customer complaint categories, the AQR reports airlines’ comparative performance for the calendar year of 2020. This research monograph contains a summary of the AQR methodology and detailed data that track comparative performance quality for domestic airline operations for the 12-month period of 2020 and the industry.
