Our work begins where God's grace has laid the foundation; we are not to save souls, but to disciple them.
- Oswald Chambers
The children of God all have a cross to bear. A suffering Savior generally has suffering disciples.
- JC Ryle
The saved are few, but we must live with the few if we would be saved with the few. O God, too few indeed they are: yet amongst those few I wish to be!
- Alphonsus Liguori
To evangelize properly by delivering the gospel, we need to follow God's agenda.
- Mark Dever
Before Jesus leads His disciples into suffering, humiliation, disgrace, and disdain, He summons them and shows Himself to them as the Lord in God's glory.
- Dietrich Bonhoeffer
No one whose first concern is feeling good can be a disciple. We are called to carry a cross and to glorify God.
