More quotes by Erwin McManus
Jesus is being lost in a religion bearing his name.
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
We are all hypocrites in transition. I am not who I want to be, but I am on the journey there, and thankfully I am not whom I used to be.
Erwin McManus
I am convinced the Church is the greatest hope for humanity and for creating a new world where everyone is valued and embraced regardless of differences.
Erwin McManus
We can’t change history, but we can create the future.
Erwin McManus
You're not supposed to die with your potential. A life well lived squeezes all the potential placed within and does something with it.
Erwin McManus
I guess when I really think about it, God's voice sounds a lot like my voice.
Erwin McManus
It's not your freedom to choose that makes you free. It's what you choose in that freedom that makes you free.
Erwin McManus
The world doesn't need more great leaders, it needs more great people who lead.
Erwin McManus
It’s a wonderful thing when you look inside your own heart and like what you see.
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
The first and most important step in the process of becoming genuinely is to be once again authenticated by the original designer.
Erwin McManus
It is not balance you need but adaptability.
Erwin McManus
Jesus did not have a value for prayer for prayer's sake. He had a value for the intimate communion between God and man.
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 person who loves the process has a much greater chance of success than the person who loves the outcome.
Erwin McManus
Attitude is an accurate monitor of where we fall on the spectrum of pride and humility.
Erwin McManus
Humility is not about having a low self-image or poor self-esteem. Humility is about self-awareness.
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
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.
