"Discipleship means adherence to Christ, and, because Christ is the object of that adherence, it must take the form of discipleship.  An abstract Christology, a doctrinal system, a general religious knowledge on the subject of grace or on the forgiveness of sins, render discipleship superfluous."

 "Many Christians have what we might call a "cultural holiness". They adapt to the character and behavior pattern of Christians around them. As the Christian culture around them is more or less holy, so these Christians are more or less holy. But God has not called us to be like those around us. He has called us to be like himself. Holiness is nothing less than conformity to the character of God."

"In 1729 my brother Charles and I, reading the Bible, and seeing we could not be saved without holiness, followed after it, and incited others to do so.  In 1737 we saw that holiness comes by faith.  In 1738 we saw that men are justified before they are sanctified; but still holiness was our pursuit - inward and outward holiness.  God then thrust us out to raise up a holy people."

"For the past ten years God has enabled me to keep a perfect, unbroken purpose to serve Him with my whole heart.  No temptation has swerved that steadfast purpose.  'HOLINESS TO THE LORD' (Exodus 28:36, KJV) has been my motto.

For the Christian, "Holiness is nothing less than self-giving love.  More than conceptual, this love is tangibly self-offering, self-dispensing, and self-emptying.  It is the essence of biblical discipleship."

 " To be a Christian is defined by your relationship toward God as revealed in your conformity to God's character ... God is saying to you and to me, 'Come, come walk with me.

 The "show business," which is so incorporated into our view of Christian work today, has caused us to drift far from Our Lord's conception of discipleship. It is instilled in us to think that we have to do exceptional things for God; we have not. We have to be exceptional in ordinary things, to be holy in mean streets, among mean people, surrounded by sordid sinners. That is not learned in five minutes.

discussing the possibility

of having D. L. Moody

serve as the evangelist

Finally, one young

stood up and asked,

“Why Moody? Does he

have a monopoly on the

Holy Spirit?”

There was silence. Then

Samuel Logan Brengle

Samuel Logan Brengle

  "Do you want to know what holiness is?  It is pure love.  Do you want to know what the baptism of the Holy Spirit is?  It is not a mere sentiment.  It is not a happy sensation that passes away in a night.  It is a baptism of love that brings every thought into captivity to the Lord Jesus (see 2 Cor. 10:5); casts out all fear (see 1 John 4:18); burns up doubt and unbelief as fire burns flax; makes you 'meek and lowly in heart' (Matt. 11:29); makes you hate uncleanness, lying and deceit, a flattering tongue, and every evil way with a perfect hatred;  makes heaven and hell eternal realities; makes you patient and gentle with the disobedient and sinful; makes you 'pure ... peaceable ... open to reason, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere' (James 3:17), and brings you into perfect and unbroken sympathy with the Lord Jesus Christ in His toil and travail to bring a lost and rebellious world back to God" 

John Wesley

Samuel Logan Brengle

Samuel Logan Brengle

"Love is the highest gift of God; humble, gentle, patient love; that all visions, revelations, or manifestations whatever, are little things compared to love; and that all other gifts . . . are either the same with or infinitely inferior to love. Therefore, you should be thoroughly aware of this – the heaven of heavens is love. There is nothing higher in religion; there is, in effect, nothing else; if you look for anything but more love, you are looking wide of the mark, you are getting out of the royal way. And when you are asking others, "Have you received this or that blessing?" if you mean anything but more love, you mean wrong; you are leading them out of the way, and putting them on a false scent. Settle it then in your heart, that from the moment God has saved you from all sin, you are to aim at nothing more but more of that love describe in the thirteenth chapter of First Corinthians. You can go no higher than this, till you are carried into Abraham's bosom."

William Greathouse

Samuel Logan Brengle

William Greathouse

"To be a Christian, said theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer, is "to have the precise space once occupied by the old man now to be occupied by Jesus Christ."  This is to be holy; for to be truly Christian is one and the same thing as to be holy.  Christ living and reigning in me through the power of the indwelling Spirit is the essence of holiness.  The victory that overcomes the world is the faith that "greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world" (1 John 4:4, KJV). "If we live by the Spirit," Paul urges, "let us also walk by the Spirit" (Gal. 5:25, RSV).  Walking by the Spirit is remembering that apart from Christ we "can do nothing" (John 15:5).  It is maintaining a moment-by-moment dependence upon Him as our Life.  At the deepest, holiness is not a matter of holy habit patterns; these are simply cut-flower arrangement if we do not sustain an intimate relationship with Christ.  But if we abide in Him, His life becomes our life, His love our love, and His joy our joy.  The secret of holy living is to permit Christ to live His life of holy love in us!"

"Wherever Christians make worldly customs and tainted literature their element, soul-hunger for purity is sure to die out.  A candle cannot burn in the foul air that settles in old wells and cisterns. No more can a flame of holy love exist in an atmosphere of un-Christian habits though not grossly wicked."

 “even the most impressive and sacrificial actions are worthless if they are not empowered by love.”

 "We have suffered from the preaching of cheap grace. Grace is free, but it is not cheap. People will take anything that is free, but they are not interested in discipleship. They will take Christ as Savior but not as Lord."

 "No matter how high the powers of reason, no matter how deep the intellect, no one can discover God's secret messages without paying the cost of true discipleship."
