We Must Be Committed To Following Christ  Perhaps the one thing that is lacking in discipleship today is a failure to make a commitment to follow Christ in every aspect of one's life. Being a disciple is not something we do once and it is taken care of for the rest of our life. The Lord emphasized a "daily,, commitment(Luke 

). We are faced with choices every day in which we have to deny self and do what Christ would have us to do.We are to count the cost before becoming a disciple (Luke 14:28). Once we have made this decision, we are not to look back, but keep moving forward (Luke 9:62).  If we are going to make a serious claim to being a disciple of Christ, we must do so on His terms, not on our own. Are we really a disciple of Christ? Have we put Him first in every part of our lives, and committed ourselves to following His teachings until the end?  http://www.onestone.com/portraits-of-discipleship.html   Author Heath Rogers

To fully understand being a Christian, God's word teaches us what it means to be a disciple. This workbook is designed to help us learn how to be the disciple God wants us to be.Heath Rogers uses God's illustrations to guide us through a study of the qualities of discipleship. From soldier to servant, from clay in the Potter's hand to apologist, the God-defined aspects of discipleship are discussed with the idea in mind that we can each become a stronger Christian.13 lessons with questions following each lesson, 81 Pages.
