My preacher Steve North cracks me up. Yesterday he was talking about a double-date from his past. He and his buddy John took two girls out for dinner many years ago. Steve said, “The two girls spent the whole time talking just to each other, sharing funny stories with each other, that THEY found funny that we DIDN’T find funny, and I was PAYING for this ‘lack of funny!’”
Here’s some of his other strong quotes from the past few months…
“The man who knows ‘how’ will always have a job. But the man who knows ‘why’ will always be his boss.”
“Too many times, we treat Communion like it’s some sort of ‘Metamucil for the soul.’”
“In America, we substitute ‘being nice’ for using words to preach.”
“Did you ever notice that it’s easy for me to get too busy for God – but God never gets too busy for me?”
“Who controls the content of your mind?”
“We look for answers in the miraculous, while God answers in the mundane.”
(holding up a finger and revolving his other hand around it) – “This is me; this is the world revolving around me – it’s kind of like being a perpetual teenager.”
“We have developed a co-dependent culture where we need to be served and needed more than we need to give or serve.”
“Pride is the most predominant sin in the heart of man.”
“We are the answer to someone else’s prayer.”
