A man who visits a barber to be shaved, or who orders a suit from a tailor, is not a disciple, but a customer. So one who comes to the Savior only to be saved is the Savior's customer, not His disciple. A disciple is one who says to Christ, 'How I long to do work like Yours!

The average Christian leaves planet earth never having led anyone to Christ.

We have to assess: Are we making disciples along the way as we draw people to our churches?
