"The Great Omission from The Great Commission is the idea that we can be ‘Christians’ forever and never become disciples. Christians generally don’t have a plan for doing everything that Jesus commanded. We don’t as a rule even have a plan for learning this ourselves, and perhaps assume it is simply impossible." - Dallas Willard
