These are some final quotes from reverberations by Jonathan Leeman
“Compared to relationships, events and programs make me think of ice skates gliding across ice. Relationships make me think of gum on the bottom of a shoe on a hot day. That’s probably why it’s so easy to default toward thinking of the local church’s work in terms of programs and events.”
“This is the heart of discipleship—helping other people follow the Word.”
“discipleship works through affection, instruction, and imitation.”
“discipleship affirms differences.”
“discipleship is church-wide.”
“the second advantage of church-based counseling: It requires the leaders “to equip the saints for the work of ministry” by training their members for “speaking the truth in love” to one another (Eph. 4:12, 15).”
“We grow as Christ’s disciples as we hear Christ’s Word, and as we see it lived out by mature believers.”
“God’s Word must reverberate out the church building doors and into the world.”
