If you deliver a baby and abandon him, you didn\u2019t help, you harmed. That is why follow-up is not a nice idea; it is spiritual nursing. Many converts slip back, not because the gospel failed, but because somebody left them to cope anyhow in church and in life. Today he may be excited; tomorrow the old gang will call him, and the old habits will return. The same devil that fought him before salvation will fight him after salvation, and if he finds ignorance and isolation, he will push temptation like food before a hungry child. So don\u2019t be the kind of believer that rejoices at the catch and loses the fish on the way home. If you truly care about souls, be ready to nurture what you helped to birth, until they can stand by themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A young believer must be integrated into the life of God and into the Body of Christ. The key word is integration, not admiration. Feed him with the Word: \u201cas newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word (1 Peter 2:2 KJV)\u201d: and teach him that growth is daily, not occasional. Give him a Bible if he doesn\u2019t have one; don\u2019t assume. Then teach him fellowship: \u201cnot forsaking the assembling of ourselves together (Hebrews 10:25 KJV)\u201d: because a lone sheep becomes easy meat. From the foundations of discipleship, there are four critical things he must do DAILY: study the Bible, pray, fellowship with other believers, and testify of his salvation. Don\u2019t turn these into big grammar; make them simple habits and check on them. If he can do these four things, you have given him legs to stand. If he cannot, he will depend on emotions, and emotions don\u2019t last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>To help them stay grounded in the faith, you must know where they live, who influences them, and help them cut off from sinful friends.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Write their names down and pray for them but never get emotionally attached: attach them to Christ and to the church. And remember, hypocrisy kills follow-up: don\u2019t tell people to attend what you yourself neglect. If you will nurse them until they become settled believers, you won\u2019t just count converts: you will raise disciples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>THOUGHT TO PONDER:<\/strong> Am I nursing new believers or leaving them to struggle alone?
