"'Disciples' means not just head-learners, not just heart-learners, but life-learners. We have to discover, through prayer, study of the Scriptures, and above all devotion to Jesus Himself such as we express when we come to His table, how we in our generation can implement the decisive victory which He won." -- N.T. Wright, _Following Jesus_
"Disciple says we are people who spend our lives apprenticed to our Master, Jesus Christ. We are in a growing-learning relationship, always. A disciple is a learner but not in the academic setting of a school-room, rather at the work site of a craftsman. We do not acquire inofrmation about God but skills in faith." -- Eugene Petersen, _A Long Obedience in the Same Direction_
