• “A disciple is a learner, a student, an apprentice – a practitioner, even if only a beginner.”

• “Disciples of Jesus are people who do not just profess certain views as their own but apply their growing understanding of life in the Kingdom of the Heavens to every aspect of their life on earth.”

• “The greatest issue facing the world today, with all its heartbreaking needs, is whether those who, by profession or culture, are identified as ‘Christians’ will become disciples – students, apprentices, practitioners – of Jesus Christ, steadily learning from him how to live the life of the Kingdom of the Heavens into every corner of human existence.”

• “When Jesus walked among humankind there was a certain simplicity to being his disciple.  Primarily it meant to go with him, in an attitude of observation, study, obedience, and imitation.”

• “In the heart of a disciple there is a desire, and there is a decision or settled intent.  Having come to some understanding of what it means, and thus having ‘counted up the costs,‘ the disciple of Christ desires above all else to be like him.”

• “The disciple is one who, intent upon becoming Christ-like and so dwelling in his ‘faith and practice,‘ systematically and progressively rearranges his affairs to that end.”

• “Nondiscipleship costs abiding peace, a life penetrated throughout by love, faith that sees everything in the light of God’s overriding governance for good, hopefulness that stands firm in the most discouraging of circumstances, power to do what is right and withstand the forces of evil.  In short, nondiscipleship costs you exactly that abundance of life Jesus said he came to bring (John 10.10).  The cross-shaped yoke of Christ is after all an instrument of liberation and power to those who live in it with him and learn the meekness and lowliness of heart that brings rest to the soul.”
