Perryisms

Here are the memorable lines from Perry’s message today. (The boy just needs to learn how to say what’s on his mind.)

  • “Are you living the kind of life that makes God want to throw up?”
  • “Jesus did not die on the cross for us to be good. He died for us to live for him.”
  • “For too long the church in America has been too obsessed with creeds and not deeds.”
  • “You can be in the church but not in the Kingdom.”
  • “Is there a time in your life when you became the recipient of the grace of God?”
  • None of us in this room are perfect.”
  • Some of us are not going to Heaven.”
  • “Information without transformation equals damnation.”
  • “If brokenness isn’t happening in the church, then nothing is happening in the church.”
  • God’s saying, “You kiss toilets all week long then you come to church on Sunday and want to kiss me.”
  • “Where are you actively serving others within the context of the Body of Christ?”
  • “I believe there is potential in this room that will not be unlocked until we’re willing to step up and serve others.”
  • “Too many 5, 10, 15, 20-year old Christians are still trying to latch on the nipple.” (Don’t think about that too long. That’s gross.)
  • “We need to take personal responsibility for our walk with Jesus Christ.”
  • “It’s your job to feed yourself spiritually.”
  • “Who are you doing life with? Who could have the hard conversation with you?”
  • “Generosity is the mark of a fully-devoted follower of Christ.”

    Man that first line – just stopped me in my tracks:

    “Are you living the kind of life that makes God want to throw up?”

    wow. it may be graphic – but it’s right on – I think that’s a very appropriate definition of the word “Abomination.”
