More quotes by Erwin McManus
We are all hypocrites in transition. I am not who I want to be, but I am on the journey there, and thankfully I am not whom I used to be.
Erwin McManus
Love never comes without wounds faith never comes without failure.
Erwin McManus
The person who loves the process has a much greater chance of success than the person who loves the outcome.
Erwin McManus
Courage frees us from the fears that would rob us of life itself.
Erwin McManus
Your soul craves truth, beauty, wonder, love. Your soul craves to dream, to imagine, and even simply to understand. Your soul craves to connect, to commune, to create.
Erwin McManus
When we stop believing the world can become a better place, when we stop caring about the lives and conditions of others, we lose a part of ourselves.
Erwin McManus
You can plant a church and grow a church. That's not that hard to do, but it's harder to be a viable source of transformation in a city or your time or space.
Erwin McManus
Would you be willing to give your life to save the world if no one ever knew your name? If anonymity was the price you would have to pay for significance, would it be too great a price? To live a life of courage is not a guarantee of prestige or adulation. It only matters if you live and die fulfilling the mission you were born for.
Erwin McManus
We need both to aspire and accomplish. Without a vision for your life, without a sense of purpose, you will begin to die a slow death.
Erwin McManus
The first and most important step in the process of becoming genuinely is to be once again authenticated by the original designer.
Erwin McManus
The church must acclimate to a changing world, or she will destine herself to irrelevance or even extinction. ...One of those dramatic changes in our environment is the shift from words to images. To do church in a way that is entirely text driven is the kiss of death.
Erwin McManus
Far too often, when we think we are frightened by mystery, the fact is that we are haunted by history.
Erwin McManus
When we dwell on the past, we tend to want to live there. When we dream of the future, we want to go there. Our dreams are where God paints a picture of a life waiting to be created.
Erwin McManus
I guess when I really think about it, God's voice sounds a lot like my voice.
Erwin McManus
The future belongs to those who have the courage to create it. We need a new humanity. We need a new expression of community. We need the Church to bring the world together. This makes me excited.
Erwin McManus
It is amazing where God will take you when you are willing to follow. Life is full of surprises when we choose mystery over security.
Erwin McManus
So many of us have abdicated our passions for obligations, as if passion is a luxury for the young, and we must all grow up one day. We, even if reluctantly, fall into place to live a life of conformity that we describe as ‘maturity.’ We’ve made acting like an adult synonymous with living apathetic lives.
Erwin McManus
How is it, that for many of us, being a good Christian is nothing more than being a good person? The entire focus of our faith has been the elimination of sin, which is important but inadequate rather than the unleashing of a unique, original, extraordinary, wonderfully untamed, faith.
Erwin McManus
I think a lot of us are not on a path we're in a rut. We have confused comfort with peace, belief with faith, safety with wisdom, wealth with blessing, and existence with life.
Erwin McManus
When you're passionate about God, you can trust your passions.
