More quotes by 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
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
To live outside of God's will puts us in danger to live in his will makes us dangerous.
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
Faith is the determination to create with our lives what only our hearts can conceive.
Erwin McManus
When we stop believing the world can become a better place, when we stop caring about the lives and conditions of others, we lose a part of ourselves.
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
Your soul craves truth, beauty, wonder, love. Your soul craves to dream, to imagine, and even simply to understand. Your soul craves to connect, to commune, to create.
Erwin McManus
The greatest enemy to the movement of Jesus Christ is Christianity.
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
Courage is not the absence of fear it is the absence of self.
Erwin McManus
The church does not exist for us. We are the church, and we exist for the world.
Erwin McManus
The future awaits those with the courage to create it.
Erwin McManus
It is not balance you need but adaptability.
Erwin McManus
How is it, that for many of us, being a good Christian is nothing more than being a good person? The entire focus of our faith has been the elimination of sin, which is important but inadequate rather than the unleashing of a unique, original, extraordinary, wonderfully untamed, faith.
Erwin McManus
The real measure of our power is the freedom and opportunity we create for others.
Erwin McManus
Attitude is an accurate monitor of where we fall on the spectrum of pride and humility.
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
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
Religion as a whole specializes in sin management. It's all about organizing humanity in such a way that we cause as little damage as possible.
