Becoming a Disciple

"One mistake we can make during this mortal experience is to value knowledge apart from the other qualities to be developed in submissive discipleship. Knowledge--discovery, its preservation, its perpetuation--is very important. Yet, being knowledgeable while leaving underdeveloped the virtues of love, mercy, meekness, and patience is not enough for full discipleship. Mere intellectual assent to a truth deprives us of the relevant, personal experiences that come from applying what we profess to believe." (Becoming a Disciple - Neal A. Maxwell. Ensign Jun 1996)
