    Pursue your Calling

    "The acid test of authenticity for the disciple is: Answering the call to be obedient disciples of Jesus firstly, then becoming reproducible disciple makers that maintain the discipline of bringing the lost people into the Kingdom. Should this call be left unanswered, then christian discipleship is woefully lacking, bringing into question the authenticity of disciples of Jesus."

    - Prof. Isaiah
