The True Vine, Introduction and Purpose

The purpose behind today’s post, as well as those that will follow, are about daily discipleship. Some of the things I hope to accomplish are:

  • To learn about God.
  • To live according to what is learned from reading the daily scripture.
  • To be accountable to others by sharing in a public place.
  • To encourage readers to share their own reflections, and also to put into practice the topics that are being studied.

Accountability. You will notice that I post these devotional readings annonymously. It is not to avoid being accountable. Please use the comment feature on this page to hold me accountable for what I say. It wouldn’t take much work to discover who I am. I would rather that you spend that effort in focusing on these daily readings. It will benefit you more than trying to discover who I am. I have my reasons for being annonymous, but if it bugs you that much, tell me, and I’ll let you know.

Discipleship and devotional time isn’t about me, it’s about God, and how we grow to know him better, and show evidence of him in our lives.

This upcoming study material is a 31 day course in discipleship titled, The True Vine, by Andrew Murray. I’ll be using snippets from his book, add my own reflections, and leave it up to any readers to contribute comments as well.

Andrew Murray’s book, the True Vine, which is in the public domain, can be read in it’s entirety at:

The link to the book is off this web site, and is out of my control. The link worked when I posted it, but there’s no promise whether it will continue to be valid.

Please, feel free to download the book. Glance ahead. Read Andrew Murray’s entire commentary. However, try
