How do we know when we have been successful making disciples?

Are we really reproducing that which Jesus expected when He said we should be "teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you" (Matt 28:18-20) In John 15 He says that He appointed us to bear fruit, fruit that lasts!

And God saw everything that He had made, and behold, it was very good.

Why did God create man Was it for us to worship Him? Was He lonely?

What does it mean to be a follower of Christ?

Luke 14:25-35 Now large crowds were going along with Him; and He turned and said to them, (26)

Here are some of the resources that I use when studying the Bible:

First of all I love e-sword it is better in my opinion than most paid Bible software, here is the description from the e-sword site;

e-Sword is a fast and effective way to study the Bible. e-Sword is feature rich and user friendly with more capabilities than you would expect in a free software package. The fact that e-Sword is free is just one of the blessings and does not speak of the quality of the software.
