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.

Jesus is being lost in a religion bearing his name.

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.

The church does not exist for us. We are the church, and we exist for the world.

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?

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

Love never comes without wounds faith never comes without failure.
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.
Erwin McManus
Image
To be apathetic is literally to be without passion.
Erwin McManus
Image
When you live your life knowing the mission and calling and voice of God in your soul and you know where that compass is driving you forward, you will become a rare commodity in a world searching for direction.
Erwin McManus
Image
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.

Courage is not the absence of fear it is the absence of self.

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

It’s a wonderful thing when you look inside your own heart and like what you see.
