Today’s rising interest in discipleship grows out of the experience of the evangelical church as it discovers it can no longer exist just to do evangelism and provide worship for believers.

Holiness of heart and life. This is not the perfection of the human nature, but the holiness of the divine nature dwelling within.

It is not the absence of sin but the grieving over it which distinguishes the child of God from empty professors.
– AW Pink –
Listen, I’m against sin. I’ll kick it as long as I’ve got a foot, I’ll fight it as long as I’ve got a fist, I’ll butt it as long as I’ve got a head, and I’ll bite it as long as I’ve got a tooth. And when I’m old, fistless, footless, and toothless, I’ll gum it till I go home to glory and it goes home to perdition.
– Billy Sunday –
The idea that God will pardon a rebel who has not given up his rebellion is contrary both to the Scriptures and to common sense.

Sin is the greatest power in the world, with one exception, and this is the power of God.

“Brethren, pray for us” (1 Thessalonians 5:25).
If Paul was so dependent on the prayers of God’s saints to give his ministry success, how much more important is it that the prayers of God’s saints be centered on the ministry of today!

The work of a true convert is not done. He finds a great work to do and great wants to be supplied. He still sees himself to be a poor, empty, helpless creature who still stands in great and continual need of God’s help. He well knows that without God he can do nothing. After a true conversion, the soul is increasingly aware of its own impotence and emptiness. It is still aware of its universal dependence on God for everything.
– Jonathan Edwards –
Let us give ourselves to be intercessors. Let us cry with importunity to God when we see people who need help, when the spirit of compassion stirs within us, when we feel our own powerlessness to help, or when we see obstacles in the way of our getting an answer. God alone can help. And in answer to our prayers, He will help.
