Some thoughts Erwin McManus shared during the “Concrete: The Stuff You Build On” series:
“Jesus didn’t die on the cross to give us more information about God but connect us directly to God.”
“The church needs a new marketing team. The church is doing so much good in the world and has done so much good. Too often we are only known for what we’ve done wrong because those who are doing good aren’t trying to make a name for themselves. ”
“We need to move from observer to an active participant.”
“One of the greatest of God’s gifts He gives us is not only Himself but He gaves us each other.”
“Too often we have a consumeristic or utilitarian view of people – looking to connect when they have use for us. The more transient and nomadic we are, the more we choose & learn to be alone.”
“Ever wanted to live in a perfect world? If we did and had a perfect r-ship with God, something would still be missing if we were alone. (ex. Adam in Garden of Eden).”
“We were created for relationships! If you are here and no one is in your inner circle, then you are missing something.”
