【国王训练班】世人办理各种训练班，有会计人员训练班，外语训练班，卫生人员训班，手工艺训练班，各行各业皆有训练班，产生人材为着社会服务。今天神在地上开了一个天国国王训练班，却少有人知道，其中的学员就是基督徒。我们已经有了神儿子的生命，但是外面生活不像，神要籍着环境试炼与训练，把我们模成神子形像。我们今天是在天国国王训练班中受训，为着将来与主基督一同作主。
※ 『门徒』希腊文Para Kolouthein的意思就是『在旁(para)跟随(kolouthein)』。我们作主的门徒，就是随时随地跟随在主的身边，不论景况如何，我们都愿意在旁跟随。

【Discipleship,
Need for】One weekend,
three young fellows decided to take
bicycle trip into the countryside. Although inexperienced, they covered
forty miles in three and a half hours and congratulated themselves on their
good time. The next morning, as they prepared to head back to their starting
point, they were met by a good friend, who had just cycled the forty-mile trip
morning and was ready to head back. He was an excellent cyclist, and with him
pacing the young cyclists back to town, they made the return trip in just two
and a half hours.
In
the same way, young Christians need to “pacing” of older believers as they take
their first “riders” in Christ if they are to progress as far in the Christian
life as they should and as quickly as they can.
【Discipleship,
Vision for】William Kelly
was an outstanding student of the Bible whose scholarship and spirituality made
him a real power for God in Great Britain at the close of the last century.
Kelly had once helped a young relative prepare for Trinity College in Dublin
and in this way came to the attention of the professors there. They urged him
to take up work at the college and thus distinguish himself. When Kelly showed
a compete lack of enthusiasm for their suggestion, they were nonplussed. One of
them asked in exasperation, “But Mr. Kelly, aren’t you interested in making a
name for yourself in the world?”
To
which Kelly adroitly replied, “Which world, gentlemen?”
