Top Highlights
“Discipleship could be defined as becoming and being a flourishing follower of Jesus who embodies the character of Christ by engaging in a lifelong, personal pursuit of holistic transformation and doing so within a like-minded community of faith that’s corporately committed to being and making other disciples.” (source)
“Well, let’s just say that a disciple is a follower or a devotee of a teaching or a person. That’s fundamentally what a disciple is, but in Christianity a disciple is a Christ follower. It’s someone who converts from his or her previous manner of living—the repentance of sin and faith in Christ—and that person then begins a lifelong, loving relationship with the living Christ, evidenced by a pursuit of becoming like Christ through obedience to His teachings.” (source)
“Before long, churches suffered from false teaching, because after all, some of the people weren’t even able to read and write that were in ministry positions, and that was when the bottom began to drop out of Christian discipleship in churches. So as the leadership go, go the churches.” (source)
“Indoctrination is a systematic instruction and enforcement of a rigid system of ideological control, meaning using authority to shape the mind and to control the thinking of other persons and their behavior. It does so in ways that discourage discussion.” (source)
“The whole basis for discipleship is living human life in union with the Spirit of Christ.” (source)
