The greatest issue facing the world today, with all its heartbreaking needs, is whether those who, by profession or culture, are identified as โChristiansโ will become disciples โ students, apprentices, practitioners โ of Jesus Christ, steadily learning from him how to live the life of the Kingdom of the Heavens into every corner of human existence.
