What is discipleship? It is primarily obedience to the Savior. Discipleship includes many things. It is chastity. It is tithing. It is family home evening. It is keeping all the commandments. It is forsaking anything that is not good for us. Everything in life has a price.

Holiness speaks when there is silence, encouraging that which is good or reproving that which is wrong.
