The epicenter of creativity and imagination should be the Church, reflecting the character and glory of God.

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?

Mosaic is one of the most racially diverse churches on the planet. Our community and extended Church family is global and completely integrated.

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.

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.

Behind real freedom, there lies discipline.

The most important moments rarely come at a convenient time
Erwin McManus
Image
A world without God cannot wait for us to choose the safe path. If we wait for someone else to take the risk, we risk that no one will ever act and that nothing will ever be accomplished.

God gives God-sized dreams to people with God-shaped hearts.

To live outside of God's will puts us in danger to live in his will makes us dangerous.

Is it possible that the creative act is simply the materialization of the future- making the invisible, visible?
