Every activity of the church must be rooted in God's inspired Word, the Bible. Without it we have no content to share. Yes, we may have illustrations and applications that build upon or supplement our teaching and learning, but every idea, every doctrine, and every act of obedience must be a direct result of an encounter with the risen Christ through the Holy Spirit and His Word. God will never lead us to do anything against His Word, therefore it is a sure foundation on which to stand.
Having a high view of Scripture is absolutely essential in the discipleship process. Discipleship minus the Word of God is simply mentoring, and mentoring in itself will never change hearts and sanctify souls.
It is for this reason that every time we meet with those whom we are discipling or being discipled by we must open His Word.
