1st we lead off with the #1 Quote of the Week!
“LIVE SIMPLY THAT OTHERS MAY SIMPLY LIVE.” – bumper sticker I saw the other day [this is the philosophy I try to live my whole life by. This might become a secondary life motto for me!]
“Fiction has to make sense. Truth does not.” – The International, the movie, said by an old communist General with the IBBC... [I heard that and had to pause the movie! There is so much truth to that statement and so many implications on so many levels! It might be a whole blog article one day!]
“HOW we communicate, lead, produce, and facilitate is as important as WHAT we communicate, lead, produce, and facilitate.” – Joel Thomas, North Point Singles Director, @ Drive '09 [churches need to hear way more of that!]
"This is the gospel: God has tossed out the books." - Rob Bell , author & pastor @ Mars Hill Bible Church [from his talk on June 21st]
“Those who shut their ears to the cry of the poor will also cry out and not be answered./ The generous will themselves be blessed, for they share their food with the poor.” – Solomon, author & King (Proverbs 21:13 & 22:9) [Can't get away from stuff like that in Scripture.]
"As culture changes many of the Questions remain the same, but the Answers don't." - Andy Stanley, pastor @ North Point [man, if we could "GET" that we would be so much more effective!]
“We decided to stop complaining about the church we saw, and we set our hearts on becoming the church we dreamed of.” - Shane Claiborne, ordinary radical [there's a way to live life!]
"All of us want to experience miracles, but we don't want to be in situations that require them. Can't have one without the other." – Mark Batterson, author & pastor @ National Community Church [this is something we can absolutely testify to at Ridge Church.]
“You can’t get too much done in life if you only work on the days when you feel good.” – Jerry West, NBA legend & the guy whose silhouette IS the NBA logo... that's pretty big time! [haha, I can testify to this quote as well]
"If you try to live out biblical NT Christianity, you're gonna face the greatest opposition from the church." - Francis Chan, author & pastor @ Cornerstone [really sad, but seems like it might be true]
OK, YOUR TURN! WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THESE QUOTES OF THE WEEK?

"Live simply that others may simply live." In order for others (everyone) to live, we'd be living in single rooms with no air-condition; but that's what it will take.
