More quotes by Erwin McManus

Erwin McManus

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 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
I guess when I really think about it, God's voice sounds a lot like my voice.
