Perryisms

Yesterday, Perry talked about how we need to fully surrender everything to God. Here are some of my favorite lines from his message:

  • “When the Gospel takes root in someone’s life, everything changes.”
  • “A 95% commitment to Christ is 5% too short.”
  • “God doesn’t want anything from you. He wants everything.”
  • “If God loved us based on our performance, everyone in this room would be totally screwed.”
  • “God will forgive us for our past sins, but he will always deal with our current sins.”
  • “We will never understand what he expects until we discover who he is.”
  • “Until we understand what he expects, we’ll never give him our very best.”
  • Referring to Malachi 1:10: “This is where the fertilizer hits the fan…if you know what I mean.”
  • “If your offering means nothing to you, why do we expect it would mean anything to God.”

    Solid stuff man. Thanks for sharing. You post these almost regularly… I’m seeing a nice big leather-bound book of sorts to be published soon with these in them, no?

    LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the last one. I hear folks often say “10% means NOTHING to me.” It’s true, I don’t miss it, but it means more than I can understand.
