Many say the drive is the most exciting shot in golf. I say the accuracy and variability of the approach is far superior.
Though theology is more like the approach, our temptation is often to swing like a drive.

Discipleship

For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you -- that is, that we may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith, both yours and mine. Romans 1:11-12

I think this verse has a lot to say about discipleship. Our temptation is to think of discipleship as a one-way stream of information flowing down. The reality is that the flow-chart of discipleship looks more like a bowl of spaghetti, with arrows going all over the place between all of our relationships.
