Erwin McManus quotes about
jesus men dying
Jesus' death wasn't to free us from dying, but to free us from the fear of death. Jesus came to liberate us so that we could die up front and then live. Jesus Christ wants to take us to places where only dead men and women can go.
jesus names lost
Jesus is being lost in a religion bearing his name.
jesus enemy movement
The greatest enemy to the movement of Jesus Christ is Christianity.
passion passionate
When you're passionate about God, you can trust your passions.
humility hypocrite transition
In some sense we are all hypocrites in transition.
jesus heart new-beginnings
Love, no matter how you come at it, is a huge risk. It makes it easier for me to remember that God will never reject me because I am not good enough and that any community that has His heart will embrace me as I am. Jesus invites us into a community where imperfect people can find acceptance, love, forgiveness, and a new beginning.
buddhism focus important
I"m often accused of being irreligious, and I suppose it's for this very reason. Whether it's Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Catholicism, Hinduism, Judaism, or any other ism, when a religioin is created on the subtle premise that God withholds his love and you must submit to the system to earn that love, I consider it the worst of corruptions... For centuries, the church has been telling us that if we want God to love us, we need to follow the rules. It's been far more important to focus on the sin problem than the love problem.
passion apathetic
To be apathetic is literally to be without passion.
humanity littles way
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.
freedom-to-choose you-choose your-freedom
It's not your freedom to choose that makes you free. It's what you choose in that freedom that makes you free.
jesus heart adventure
Jesus beckons his followers to a path that's far from the easy road. It's a path filled with adventure, uncertainty, and unlimited possibilities - the only path that can fulfill the deepest longings and desires of your heart.
cities space church
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.
drives guarantee highest human humans job level placed
The reality is that every human being is placed on this planet, and one of the things that drives humans is their need for meaning, and if you can make every job meaningful, then you will guarantee that every job will be done to its highest level of excellence.
emerges fresh god whenever wherever
Wherever and whenever God is moving in a new and fresh way, there emerges a new song!
