Perryisms

December 28, 2008 in Inside NewSpring with Comments Off

This morning I had the opportunity to participate in the NewSpring service from our vacation spot in Florida. We were able to experience the 11:15 service through a test of our new Web Campus that will be launching in the coming weeks.

Here are some of Perry’s statements that grabbed my attention. (btw… He’s just as compelling when he’s teaching at the Web Campus.)

  • “One of the reasons we stress out about the future is because we forget about God’s faithfulness in the past.”
  • “The reason you are so stressed with the things on your calendar is because Jesus is not there.”
  • “Go back to where he called you.
  • “We’re not called to fight the world. We’re called to reach the world.”
  • “He gives us what we do not deserve.”
  • “We cannot know God’s will apart from God’s Word.”
  • “I can’t wait to see what God is going to do next.”
  • “God called you to be someone special and to do something special for him.”
  • “I don’t think it’s right for a church to say they’re committed to missions and ignore the needs in their own backyard.”
  • “The reason we exist as a church is to make the name of Jesus famous one life at a time.”

If you get a chance, I hope you take the opportunity to watch the video from today’s service when it’s posted online later this week. The entire service is a video recap of everything that has happened at NewSpring in 2008. Encouraging. Inspiring. Challenging.
