“To be a disciple of Jesus is the highest honor to which a man can aspire. When Jesus called Peter, James, John, and the others, He called them to become, what? Disciples. When Jesus left earth, the marching orders He left behind are to do, what? "Go and make disciples.
The word "disciple" comes from the Greek word mathetes, which means "pupil" or "learner." When used in conjunction with Jesus, it came to mean "an adherent to the person and teachings of Jesus." A disciple is called to live "in" Christ, equipped to live "like" Christ, and sent to live "for" Christ. Discipleship includes both the moment of salvation and the lifelong process of sanctification.” Patrick Morley
A question you need to ask yourself is this, am I ready to be a “disciple?” Men, that is exactly what should define you as a Christian Man. Why do we call ourselves “Crusaders?” Is not a Crusader a man who will rise to the challenge when called upon to do so? A crusader is one who incorporates the very essence of “in, like, and for” Christ at every moment of his life. Men, let us rise to the call and boldly pronounce that we are indeed MEN OF GOD! Let us boldly make a stand and firmly resist the lure of this world. Let us boldly go forth into the unknown to take back what the enemy has stolen. In essence, it is time for the world to see what we truly are, Warriors of Christ!
