You cannot wash the feet of a dirty world if you refuse to touch it
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.

It is not balance you need but adaptability.
Erwin McManus
Deeper than our instinct to live is our longing to be alive.

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
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 epicenter of creativity and imagination should be the Church, reflecting the character and glory of God.
Erwin McManus
Humility is not about having a low self-image or poor self-esteem. Humility is about self-awareness.
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.
