#1 Quote of the week:
“A Christian
should get very nervous when the flag and the Bible start holding hands. This
is not a romance we want to encourage.” – Rob Bell, pastor & author
[yep, because we've seen that happen before and it produces one ugly baby!]
“The best criticism of the bad has always been the practice
of the better.” – Richard Rohr, Franciscan Monk
“To be conscious that you are ignorant of the facts is a
great step to knowledge.” – Benjamin Disraeli, former British Prime Minister
[great statement + he looks like a pimp or something.]
“Christians are like manure. Spread them out and they help
everything else grow. But keep them in one big pile & they stink horribly.”
– Francis Chan, author & pastor
The church has previously wrestled with most of our
issues, and those "wrestlings" are well worth our time to explore, or
we cut ourselves off from the accumulated wisdom and insight of the ages."
– James White, pastor, author, & my former professor
“The society shapes the person as much as the person shapes
the society.” – Lesslie Newbigin, author, pastor, missiologist, Father of the current missional movement
[right on Lesslie. they’re linked. No such thing as
individualism.]
“Treat people as if they were what they ought to be, and you
help them become what they are capable of becoming.” – Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe, late German author and genius
“Jesus’ invitation into the Kingdom of God was an invitation into
the original universe, as it was meant to be.”
– Brian McLaren, author and leader
“His (Satan's) chief lie is that self-exaltation is more to be
desired than Christ exaltation.” – John Piper, pastor & author
“Words are powerful. They are life-shaping.” – Andy Stanley, pastor and author
“When you think about generosity is it always future tense?”
– Chris Brown, (my) pastor - Ridge Church
[great question that could tell us a lot about how truly generous we are!]
