More quotes by Erwin McManus
The Church is not segregated by region or cities. That's an antiquated view of the world. We are united with churches all over the world working toward common goals based on shared values. Mosaic is one of the most racially diverse churches on the planet. Our community and extended Church family is global and completely integrated.
Erwin McManus
We have to ask ourselves, 'Am I really trying to discern God's will, or determine whether I want to do it?'
Erwin McManus
The person who loves the process has a much greater chance of success than the person who loves the outcome.
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.

Behind real freedom, there lies discipline.
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
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 real measure of our power is the freedom and opportunity we create for others.
Erwin McManus
Religion as a whole specializes in sin management. It's all about organizing humanity in such a way that we cause as little damage as possible.
Erwin McManus
I am convinced most Americans - yes even white Americans - are committed to justice and equality for all people. I am convinced that most Americans are disgusted and even ashamed that Nazism is alive and well in this country that fought to defeat its evil ideology.
Erwin McManus
To live outside of God's will puts us in danger to live in his will makes us dangerous.
Erwin McManus
We were created to be expressions of the goodness and wholeness of God.
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.
