Easter Perryisms
We had 14 services at 4 campuses over the last 2 days. It was a crazy Easter celebration at NewSpring Church this weekend. Lots of people. Lots of new life. (I’ll explain in a moment.) Here are some of the lines from Perry’s message that grabbed my attention:
- “When it becomes personal, we’re forced to pay a little more attention.”
- “No one wants to sign up at the ‘go to hell’ table.”
- “We pay attention to people we perceive are important.”
- “Every one of us in this room is going to die.”
- “Some of us won’t be here the same time next year.”
- “Jesus said there was a hell.”
- “I can talk about hell all day long and it doesn’t scare me because I’m not going there.”
- “You don’t have to be good to get into Heaven – you have to be perfect.”
- “The bad guy deserves to die. Here’s the problem – we’re the bad guy.”
- “It’s not just about what he said. It’s about what he did.”
- “Do you know him?”
This weekend, we broke attendance records at our Florence, Greenville and Web campuses. We had over 15,000 people total for the first time in NewSpring history. But, the best news of the weekend is that 319 people accepted Christ. New forgiveness. New direction. New purpose. New life. It’s a brand new day for 319 people.
That’s why I do what I do.
Awesome stuff!! Go God!!

Awesome news, Tony! We never get tired of hearing about numbers, especially when it comes to numbers of people trusting Christ. 128 people found new life today at New Horizon Church in Durham, NC. Pray for us as we turned a big corner today with over 2000 in attendance. Of course the best news is that heaven partied today on behalf of so many who trusted Christ!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Perryism’s. Please keep doing it!
