To live outside of God's will puts us in danger; to live in his will makes us dangerous.
Erwin McManusWould you be willing to give your life to save the world if no one ever knew your name? If anonymity was the price you would have to pay for significance, would it be too great a price? To live a life of courage is not a guarantee of prestige or adulation. It only matters if you live and die fulfilling the mission you were born for.
Erwin McManusJesus' 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 McManusJesus did not have a value for prayer for prayer's sake. He had a value for the intimate communion between God and man.
