Wise Words

Proverbs are amazing.

Those one liners that stop your world and make you think (if we're willing to let them).  So, I thought I'd share a few of those one-liners.  Pretty sure most of them come from the book "Radical" by David Platt.  Have you ever read a book and thought you were reading your own thoughts that you hadn't been able to put into words?  Well...I had that strange feeling while reading "Radical".

 Check out the below lines/thoughts, and if something jumps at your heart, feel free to write it big and strong and hold it up on a street corner :)  (or you can copy me and plaster them all over your walls)

"How many great things am I missing for the "good" things I'm supporting?" 

"Prayer must be fundamental, not supplemental" 

 "Don't get hung up on a good thing that prevents better things from happening" 

 "The Gospel that saves us from work saves us to work"

"I am loved as much today by God as I will ever be"

"If you're burning out, you need to stop striving to win approval"

"Building the right church depends on using all the wrong people"

"We tend to overlook God's plan for people when we organize church around professionals"

"Don't sit in classrooms; share your lives.  Don't build extravagant places; build extraordinary people." 

"If I forsake the priority of people then I will miss the purpose of God." 

"I'm convinced that Christian maturity has less to do with moral impeccability and more to do with an ever growing trust in the person of Jesus Christ." -Mark Carter 

So, without further ado...go soak in some proverbs, some wise words from wise men, or write a few of your own.
