O próprio evangelho exige que fiquemos com nossos líderes e pregadores em profunda unidade, cooperação e solidariedade – não por causa dos seus dons.… - Colin Marshall

the only growth that has any significance in God’s plans is the growth of believers. This is what the growing vine really is: it is individual, born-again believers, grafted into Christ by his word and Spirit, and drawn into mutually edifying fellowship with one another.

There are not two sorts of disciples — the inner core who really serve Jesus and his gospel, and the rest. To be a disciple is to be a slave of Christ and to confess his name openly before others: “So everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven, but whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven” (Matt 10:

Deveríamos começar com as pessoas que Deus nos deu, não com nossos programas.” (pp. 27)
