The Lord gives His people perpetual joy when they walk in obedience to Him. (Dwight L. Moody)

When do we know who we are as children of God, we do not have to rebel; we do not have to dominate and control.  We yield to the lordship of Christ, secure in our position in Him, and we relate with love and forgiveness.  (Dr. Neil T. Anderson, 2003)

Awareness of yourself and your relationship with God are intricately related.  In fact, the challenge to shed "old false" self, in order to, live authentically in "our new" self, strikes the very core of true spirituality (Scazzero, 2006)

Concerning the baptism of the Ethiopian Eunuch, Larkin says: the act's theological significance is cleansing for sin and incorporation into the fellowship of those who have experienced Christ's salvation blessings.  (Acts 2:38-39) (Larkin, 1995).

Stephen died with a prayer upon his lips for the very men who were murdering him; and by that they knew that he believed, and lived in the power of that belief, that the glory of God, to which he had referred at the commencement of his argument, was the very grace of God.

The Apostle Paul turns from his doctrinal treatise to write about the quality and kind of life that is demanded of every disciple, individually and in the fellowship of Christ's church.

Whatever helps a person become prepared to grow in Christ, learn his or her gifts, and begin to make a difference is discipling.  Leadership ties all activity together and directs disciplining toward a common goal.  Each part of the process is intentionally guided and seen as small part of the larger corporate plan.  (Hull, 1990, 2010).

Mothers can reproduce more disciples of Jesus Christ than anyone else!

It is one thing to talk about love and another to manifest it.  Love is manifested by active benevolence and by obedience.  (H.A. Ironside, 1920)

Technically, from the moment of spiritual birth, every Christian is a disciple.  Disciples are born by the Spirit to be made into mature reproducers.  There are to be made in every nation; therefore, every person in the church is a disciple and as the responsibility and divine ability to be what Christ desires. (Hull, 1990, 2010)
