More quotes by 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?

Erwin McManus
God clarifies in the midst of obedience, not beforehand.
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
Behind real freedom, there lies discipline.
Erwin McManus
Is it possible that the creative act is simply the materialization of the future- making the invisible, visible?
Erwin McManus
The greatest enemy to the movement of Jesus Christ is Christianity.
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
The fuel of ambition is not the problem it is the focus of ambition that frees or betrays us.
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.
