More quotes by Erwin McManus
Deeper than our instinct to live is our longing to be alive.
Erwin McManus
Courage frees us from the fears that would rob us of life itself.
Erwin McManus
It is insanity to run from God and search for love.
Erwin McManus
We can’t change history, but we can create the future.
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
The world doesn't need more great leaders, it needs more great people who lead.
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
I am convinced the Church is the greatest hope for humanity and for creating a new world where everyone is valued and embraced regardless of differences.
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
People who are fully alive look out of their minds to those who simply exist.
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
God clarifies in the midst of obedience, not beforehand.
Erwin McManus
We were created to be expressions of the goodness and wholeness of God.
Erwin McManus
Great dreams require great courage.
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 need to remember who God is, forget the painful wounds and let Him renew you.
Erwin McManus
It is not balance you need but adaptability.
Erwin McManus
The future awaits those with the courage to create it.
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
The history of God's people is not a record of God searching for courageous men and women who could handle the task, but God transforming the hearts of cowards and calling them to live courageous lives.
