Perryisms

I know. It’s been some time since I last posted Perryisms. My apologies. Here are some highlights from Perry’s message today, though, that should make up for it. Enjoy!

“We’re talking about Jesus. He’s pretty important. He was dead, and now he’s alive. I’m going to listen to that guy.”
“If you don’t have a problem writing a big check for a car you’re driving but you do have a problem writing a big check to the church you’re attending, that’s a problem.”
“I know that’s a problem for some of you because you have a G-rated God.”
“Jesus said, ‘If you put me first, I’ll take care of everything else.’”
“I don’t want to do church. I want this church to be an unstoppable force.”
“I’m an ice cream connoisseur.
“We don’t have a problem recommending a restaurant, but we do have a problem recommending a Savior.”
“People need Jesus.”
“Hell is real. And people that don’t know Jesus go there.”
“If you think the church was created for you, either get saved or get out.”
“I’m a numbers guy. I want more and more people to know Jesus. Is that a sin?”
“At what point in the process was I supposed to tell people to go to Hell, because we want authentic community?”
“God’s plan is always bigger than our plans.”
“Every dime we take in goes to missions.”
“I don’t want to send money. I want to send people.”
“I stood at the ends of the earth.”
“Most Christians are willing to do something for Jesus as long as it doesn’t cost them anything.”
“If the things of God don’t matter to you, does he actually live inside of you?”
