Mark Batterson has shared the “top 10 sayings” on his blog…<\/p>\n
#10 Love people with they least expect it and least deserve (I’m not understanding this one – maybe there’s a typo?)<\/p>\n
#9 Stop living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death<\/p>\n
#8 The church ought to be the most creative place on the planet<\/p>\n
#7 The healthiest, happiest and holiest people on the planet are the people who laugh at themselves the most<\/p>\n
#6 Irrelevance is irreverence
\n
\n#5 Criticize by creating–Michelangelo<\/p>\n
#4 Live as if today is the first day and last day of your life–Fredrick Buechner<\/p>\n
#3 The greatest freedom is having nothing to prove<\/p>\n
#2 There are ways of doing church that no one has thought of yet<\/p>\n
#1 Don’t let what’s wrong with you keep you from worshipping what’s right with God<\/p>\n
A few honorable mention:
\n#11 Your best thought about God on your best day falls 13.2 billion light-years short of how great and how good God really is!
\n#12 It’s not about what you can do for God. It’s about what God has done for you.
\n#13 God wants you to get where God wants you to go more than you want to get where God wants you to go!
\n#14 The greatest message deserves the greatest marketing
\n#15 Go after a dream that is destined to fail without divine intervention<\/p>\n
And I’ll add a few more of my own – not necessarily in this order<\/p>\n
#16 We need to stop being the church and start doing church – Brian Treadaway #18 “The church doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t exist for itself; it exists to serve the world” – Rob Bell<\/strong><\/p>\n #19 Grace, it’s a name for a girl – it’s also a thought that changed the world. – U2<\/strong><\/p>\n #20 “God is in the slums, in the cardboard boxes where the poor play house\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 God is in the silence of a mother who has infected her child with a virus that will end both their lives\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 God is in the cries heard under the rubble of war\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 God is in the debris of wasted opportunity and lives, and God is with us if we are with them.” – Bono<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Mark Batterson has shared the “top 10 sayings” on his blog… #10 Love people with they least expect it and least deserve (I’m not understanding this one – maybe there’s a typo?) #9 Stop living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death #8 The church ought to be the most … Continue reading Great quotes<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":84,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2785","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-verse-quote-of-the-day"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pEnSo-IV","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/casadeblundell.com\/jonathan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2785","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/casadeblundell.com\/jonathan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/casadeblundell.com\/jonathan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/casadeblundell.com\/jonathan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/84"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/casadeblundell.com\/jonathan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2785"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/casadeblundell.com\/jonathan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2785\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/casadeblundell.com\/jonathan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2785"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/casadeblundell.com\/jonathan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2785"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/casadeblundell.com\/jonathan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2785"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
