Quoting my preacher

Quoting my preacher

It’s been a long time since I’ve highlighted some quotes from my preacher.  Heck it’s been a long time since I’ve posted on the blog, period!  Been busy with other endeavors, I guess.

Anyway, here’s a few good ones from some recent messages, starting with one that’s super-applicable at Christmas time…

“What if you lived as generously as possible while still meeting the needs of your family?”

And here’s one from the message yesterday entitled “Jesus is the Truth”…

“The religious leaders and Pharisees hated Jesus, but not because they caught him in a lie.  They hated him because he embodied the Truth.”

And here’s one for fun from several months ago…

“If you sit on the fence for too long, both cheeks get sore.”

Quotes from my preacher

Quotes from my preacher

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.”
