The Detachment of Discipleship – Dr. Charles Stanley – Called to be a Disciple – Part 4

Some definitions of detachment are: “a severing of a relationship; a parting, a disentanglement with something, the separation of something, disengaging yourself from something or someone.”

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.

Just like the rich young ruler from Matthew 19, we all have things that are important to us, things that compete for our attention and desire. In this message, Dr. Stanley calls believers to detach from anything that we place above God if we want to become true disciples.

This message is part of the series “Called to be a Disciple.”
