More quotes by Erwin McManus
Courage is not the absence of fear it is the absence of self.
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
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
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.
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
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
The church does not exist for us. We are the church, and we exist for the world.
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
Great dreams require great courage.
Erwin McManus
In some sense we are all hypocrites in transition.
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
I guess when I really think about it, God's voice sounds a lot like my voice.
Erwin McManus
The world doesn't need more great leaders, it needs more great people who lead.
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
When you're passionate about God, you can trust your passions.
Erwin McManus
Within a moment there is monumental potential. That is the mystery of a moment. It is small enough to ignore and big enough to change your life forever
Erwin McManus
People who are fully alive look out of their minds to those who simply exist.
Erwin McManus
The epicenter of creativity and imagination should be the Church, reflecting the character and glory of God.
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.
