Description
'Christians in the West,' claims David Watson, 'have largely neglected what it means to be a disciple of Christ. The vast majority of western Christians are church-members, pew-fillers, hymn-singers, sermon-tasters, Bible-readers, even born-again believers or Spirit-filled charismatics, but not true disciples of Jesus. If we were willing to learn the meaning of true discipleship and actually to become disciples, the church in the West would be transformed, and the resultant impact on society would be staggering. This is no idle claim. It happened in the first century.
'The call to discipleship is a call to God's promised glory. In view of the urgency of the times, we are to live lives that honour Christ, that heal the wounds within his body, and that hasten the coming of the day of God. This is not a day in which to play religious games. Time is running out fast.'
