Quotes from Bill Hull

As humans, we tend to take the blessings of the gospel—which should lead us to receiving Christ's love and sharing it with others—and instead hoard them selfishly (even violently!) for ourselves. Doing this distorts the gospel from being others-focused to being self-focused.

This is the real work of the pastor, and no secular methodologies will help him do it. That calls for the supernatural work of God's Spirit, to interest people in being disciples, learning how to reproduce and reach the world for Christ.

The principle behind discipleship does involve one person influencing another, which does result in a change in heart and mind.

When people unqualified for leadership start making the decisions of spiritual leaders, they will make many bad decisions that will not take the church in the direction God would have it go.
