The #1 QUOTE OF THE WEEK actually comes from my Pastor:
"Generosity is about the condition of your heart, not the condition of your bank account." – Chris Brown, my pastor [from his recent "Domino Effect" series @ Ridge. he's saying that we are either generous or not. don't matter what our bank account says.]
*and i think this is a great "part 2" to Chris' quote above = "money enables what's in a
person's heart." - Matt Krol, YWAM [that is beautiful! if we're greedy and self-centered then more money just enables that. If we're generous and love God and people then more money just enables that!]
“Great vision without great people is irrelevant!” – Jim
Collins, author & genius. [this is brilliant and so true. obviously God can use anyone to accomplish His vision. We really must go after the right people or else the vision may be wasted.]
“I want to learn to pass through a day without passing it
by.” – Mark Buchanan, author [i have been dwelling on this quote for almost a year now. i'm trying to PRACTICE it. some days i succeed, but most days i still fail.]
“There is no such thing as a gospel which is not already
culturally shaped.” – Lesslie Newbigin, missional theologian & late author [we would all do well to KEEP THIS IN
MIND! when we think "our gospel" is the exception to that rule we are unwittingly at the height of arrogance.]
“Quitters never win and winners never quit.” – Vince
Lombardi. *“Bad advice. Winners quit all the time. They just quit the right
stuff at the right time.” – Seth Godin, author & leading marketing/business guru [i'm trying to master this brilliant advice!]
“Wouldn’t it be tragic if people identified as Christians
were unwilling to [even] consider
the possibility that they have more to learn (and unlearn) about the message
of Jesus?” – Brian McLaren, author & postmodern leader [that would be tragic...]
“The people who are
exceptionally good in business aren’t so because of what they know but because
of their insatiable need to know more.” – Michael Gerber, author of E-Myth Revisited [that quote GRABBED me! because thankfully that's ME! not necessarily the "good in business" part... but God has blessed me with an "insatiable need to know more" which sometimes i have felt like it is a curse. i hope i can steward it well.]
“The term Christian
was originally a noun; now it’s also an adjective.” – Mike Erre, pastor & author [mistakenly. How
& when did this happen? I’m guessing with the entrance of Modernity as the
dominant story…]
