Erwin Mcmanus Quotes : pic 000057953

If you look at it from just a pure economic basis, technology is replacing all of the jobs robots can do, and machinery is replacing the jobs that humans once held. If we don't train our children to imagine, to create, they're going to be unemployable. -- Erwin Mcmanus
Erwin Mcmanus Quotes : pic 000264829
If our children are going to walk away from Christ, we need to raise them in such a way that they understand that to walk away from Jesus is to walk away from a life of faith, risk and adventure and to choose a life that boring, mundane and ordinary -- Erwin Mcmanus
Erwin Mcmanus Quotes : pic 000265516
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

Erwin Mcmanus Quotes : pic 000314041
I think the exploration and the search for who Jesus is, and that 2,000 years later we're still trying to figure out who He was, and did He really rise from the dead ... And I think for me, the answer is 'yes,' and that's why we're talking about Him today. -- Erwin Mcmanus
Erwin Mcmanus Quotes : pic 000348016
One of the things you'll discover ... as you listen to your own soul is that you spend a great amount of your life trying to bring meaning to your own life.

Erwin Mcmanus Quotes : pic 000388546

Erwin Mcmanus Quotes : pic 000414112
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. -- Erwin Mcmanus
Erwin Mcmanus Quotes : pic 000454516
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

Erwin Mcmanus Quotes : pic 000542081

Erwin Mcmanus Quotes : pic 000744078
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
Erwin Mcmanus Quotes : pic 000759558
I have an incredible confidence in the resilience of the human spirit and the creative ability of the Holy Spirit. So, if you can get people asking the right questions, it really will start moving in the right direction. -- Erwin Mcmanus

Erwin Mcmanus Quotes : pic 000900179
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. -- Erwin Mcmanus
Erwin Mcmanus Quotes : pic 000914611
I think Christianity is the same as Buddhism and Hinduism - whenever a religion begins to say that these are the things you have to do to be loved by God, you have a religion. -- Erwin Mcmanus
Erwin Mcmanus Quotes : pic 000930887
For Christians, they need to access the power of Jesus and not look at Christianity as a religion. It is our Lord Jesus that makes you change, and Christians need to actualize it and put it into practice. -- Erwin Mcmanus
Erwin Mcmanus Quotes : pic 000930888
The journey to freedom is paved by the substance of our character. -- Erwin Mcmanus
Erwin Mcmanus Quotes : pic 000930889

Erwin Mcmanus Quotes : pic 000930892
A life well lived is the most exquisite work of art. -- Erwin Mcmanus
Erwin Mcmanus Quotes : pic 000930894

Erwin Mcmanus Quotes : pic 000930903

Erwin Mcmanus Quotes : pic 000930926
My goal is to destroy Christianity. -- Erwin Mcmanus

We can't change history, but we can create the future. -- Erwin Mcmanus

Erwin Mcmanus Quotes : pic 000963925

Erwin Mcmanus Quotes : pic 000963929

Erwin Mcmanus Quotes : pic 001002400
When we dwell on the past, we tend to want to live there. When we dream of the future, we want to go there. Our dreams are where God paints a picture of a life waiting to be created. -- Erwin Mcmanus
Erwin Mcmanus Quotes : pic 001013490

Wherever and whenever God is moving in a new and fresh way, there emerges a new song! -- Erwin Mcmanus
Erwin Mcmanus Quotes : pic 001107298
The Bible has been trapped in modernity. Everything has to work perfectly. And if everything doesn't fit in a Lego-oriented functionality, then we don't deal with it as Christians. -- Erwin Mcmanus
Erwin Mcmanus Quotes : pic 001126585
God has leveraged the human spirit to move in His direction, and all the material we need to bring a person to the realization that they were created by God actually already exists inside that person. -- Erwin Mcmanus
Erwin Mcmanus Quotes : pic 001161586
It is amazing where God will take you when you are willing to follow. Life is full of surprises when we choose mystery over security. -- Erwin Mcmanus
Erwin Mcmanus Quotes : pic 001182777

Erwin Mcmanus Quotes : pic 001203782
This thing that haunts you, that never seems satisfied, the cravings in your soul that you are unable to satiate through all the success that the world can bring this is your soul screaming for God. -- Erwin Mcmanus
Erwin Mcmanus Quotes : pic 001243077
If we keep asking the wrong questions, we are just going to get better wrong answers. The solution to lack of community isn't to give up on the community. -- Erwin Mcmanus
Erwin Mcmanus Quotes : pic 001416263
When the church becomes an institution, people are nothing more than volunteers to be recruited. When the church is a movement, our stewardship becomes the unleashing of our God-given gifts, talents, and passions. -- Erwin Mcmanus
Erwin Mcmanus Quotes : pic 001419140
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. -- Erwin Mcmanus
Erwin Mcmanus Quotes : pic 001425216
One trend I see is the rejection of growth for self-discovery and the pursuit of authentic community. So we keep whittling our spiritual community to a smaller and smaller and more exclusive inner circle. The problem is if the diagnoses are wrong, so will be the cure. -- Erwin Mcmanus
Erwin Mcmanus Quotes : pic 001441915
The greatest enemy to the movement of Jesus Christ is Christianity. -- Erwin Mcmanus
Erwin Mcmanus Quotes : pic 001469702

Erwin Mcmanus Quotes : pic 001541284
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
Erwin Mcmanus Quotes : pic 001551760
Problems, obstacles, and challenges can either become the markers of our limits and limitations, or they can become the springboard into a whole new world. -- Erwin Mcmanus
Erwin Mcmanus Quotes : pic 001558879
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. -- Erwin Mcmanus
Erwin Mcmanus Quotes : pic 001566256
The church does not exist for us. We are the church, and we exist for the world. -- Erwin Mcmanus
Erwin Mcmanus Quotes : pic 001566258
Jesus is being lost in a religion bearing his name. -- Erwin Mcmanus
Erwin Mcmanus Quotes : pic 001611671
You're not supposed to die with your potential. A life well lived squeezes all the potential placed within and does something with it. -- Erwin Mcmanus
Erwin Mcmanus Quotes : pic 001620202

Deeper than our instinct to live is our longing to be alive. -- Erwin Mcmanus
Erwin Mcmanus Quotes : pic 001771837

Erwin Mcmanus Quotes : pic 001792794

Erwin Mcmanus Quotes : pic 001818380
The bulk of our community is probably between the ages of 20 and 34. -- Erwin Mcmanus
