Our journey of discipleship is not a dash around the track, nor is it fully comparable to a lengthy marathon. In truth, it is a lifelong migration toward a more celestial world.
Being a Christan is less about cautiously avoiding sin than about courageously and actively doing God's will.
Discipleship is not an option. Jesus says that if anyone would come after me, he must follow me.
Discipleship is not an offer that man makes to Christ.
You cannot impart what you do not possess.
Discipleship is crucial to our ultimate destiny, but its cost is total commitment.
We see baptism as the starting point in our journey of discipleship. Our daily walk with Jesus Christ leads to peace and purpose in this life and profound joy and eternal salvation in the world to come.
The life of discipleship is not the hero-worship we would pay to a good master, but obedience to the Son of God.
Our problem is that we are in the Word but not under the Word.

The goal is not to make you a smarter sinner but to make you like the Savior.
Whatsoever one would understand what he hears must hasten to put into practice what he has heard.
Your strengths develop your confidence; your weaknesses develop your faith.
Jesus never discipled one-on-one.
The essence of grace, we suppose, is that the account has been paid in advance; and, because it has been paid, everything can be had for nothing.
Nothing is really lost by a life of sacrifice; everything is lost by failure to obey God's call.
Your love for Jesus Christ and your discipleship in His cause must be the consuming preoccupation and passion of your mortality.
Love is the measure of our faith, the inspiration for our obedience, and the true altitude of our discipleship.
Our Lord never lays down the conditions of discipleship as the conditions of salvation.
