More quotes by Erwin McManus
The world doesn't need more great leaders, it needs more great people who lead.
Erwin McManus
Far too often, when we think we are frightened by mystery, the fact is that we are haunted by history.
Erwin McManus
It is not balance you need but adaptability.
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
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
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
To be apathetic is literally to be without passion.
Erwin McManus
You can plant a church and grow a church. That's not that hard to do, but it's harder to be a viable source of transformation in a city or your time or space.
Erwin McManus
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.
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.
Erwin McManus
You cannot wash the feet of a dirty world if you refuse to touch it
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
Great dreams require great courage.
Erwin McManus
We can’t change history, but we can create the future.
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
Courage frees us from the fears that would rob us of life itself.
Erwin McManus
The future awaits those with the courage to create it.
Erwin McManus
In some sense we are all hypocrites in transition.
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.
