Erwin McManus quotes about
christian jesus thinking
My goal is to destroy Christianity as a world religion and be a recatalyst for the movement of Jesus Christ ... Some people are upset with me because it sounds like I'm anti-Christian. I think they might be right.
jesus reality people
I have so much confidence in the reality of Jesus that I feel no pressure to try to make people act or be a certain way. I'm banking everything on the fact that God actually changes people.
christian unique focus
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.
risk world doe
How in the world could you ever imagine a life of faith that does not require risk? Faith and risk are inseparable.
attitude fall humility
Attitude is an accurate monitor of where we fall on the spectrum of pride and humility.
creative invisible visible
Is it possible that the creative act is simply the materialization of the future- making the invisible, visible?
expression goodness wholeness
We were created to be expressions of the goodness and wholeness of God.
letting-go
I refused to let go of what I had.
country children church
Churches all over the country have decided they love their traditions more than their children.
ambition focus fuel
The fuel of ambition is not the problem; it is the focus of ambition that frees or betrays us.
christian stories scripture
The Christian faith grew through story - not text. Only later did the stories become Scripture. While the Scripture must be held in the highest regard, we must not neglect the power of story.
trying want determine
We have to ask ourselves, 'Am I really trying to discern God's will, or determine whether I want to do it?'
goal christianity
My goal is to destroy Christianity.
christian past years
Two thousand years ago, God started a revolt against the religion He started. So don't ever put it past God to cause a groundswell movement against churches and Christian institutions that bear His name.
