21 " Well that’s too hard. I will continue on with what we got.” When we say of a biblical command, “I don’t THINK that will work,” what we have done is elevate our reason above God’s Word. "
― Jonathan Hayashi , Ordinary Radicals: A Return to Christ-Centered Discipleship
22 " Radical Discipleship is about nothing more and nothing less than laying bare the roots of the gospel. "
23 " Being a Christian today sadly has no connection with being formed into the image of Christ (Rom. 8:29). The apostle Paul constantly reflected on his example and his walk. He said that what others saw in him, they were to pass on to others (Phil. 4:9). "
24 " Relationships take time, but we don’t want to take the time. In reality, too busy is a myth. People make time for the things that are really important to them. "
25 " Your success as a disciple of Christ is not something you do; it is someone you disciple to also become a disciple-maker. "
26 " Following Jesus may be personal, but it is never private. "
27 " At times, I wonder why the church has so little influence on the world….that it is because the world has so much influence on the church "
28 " The church is not a meeting you attend or a place you enter. It’s an identity that is yours in Christ. "
29 " If a church’s strategy is not grounded in making disciples, the church has abandoned the mission Christ has given. "
30 " Today, we have cheapened what it means to know Jesus by linking belief to a formulaic prayer that magically imports us into a relationship with God. "
31 " God isn’t interested in simply tweaking your behavior or stepping up your morality. He is all about radically transforming your entire life. "
