According to the world. freedom means “I can do whatever I like.” “I obey myself.”

According to God, freedom means, “I can now fully obey God, doing what pleases Him.”

“Freedom is the ability to obey God without constraints.”

We are disappointed not because God failed to keep His promise, but because…

We misunderstand the promise

We do not know God as well as we should

We expect God to fulfill promises He never made.

A true disciple is marked by a teachable spirit. The teacher can teach, but the student has to do the learning.

Selfishness is the most unChristlike quality.

True disciples are humble. No task is beneath them.

A disciple is not one who has been trained until he can do. A disciple is one who has been disciplined until he becomes like His Master.

Jesus is not impressed with followers. He is interested in disciples.

Good Christian leaders are disciple-makers because disciples are never self-made.

The great need of today is not for better leaders. It is rather for better followers.

Jesus was a good follower, imitator of the Father.

Those who follow Jesus most faithfully make the best leaders. They will often have to swim against cultural currents.

The way in which you serve does not diminish the magnitude of the glory you bring to God.
