Usually if I find 1 good quote for the day I am happy but today was unusual. Today I have 3 unbelievable quotes and I have a feeling that I am going to have more days like this because I am reading Radical by David Platt and WOW, is it full of wonderful things to live by. As Steven says though, "There should be a big WARNING sign on the front of the book." Wess Stafford, president & CEO of Compassion International explains the book the best. He says, "David Platt challenges Christians to wake up, trade in false values rooted in the American dream, and embrace the notice that each of us is blessed by God for a global purpose... This is a must read for every believer." Don't say I didn't warn you if you decide to read it... you're life will be changed. Well back to my quotes for the day:
1. "You make a living by what you get. You make a life by what you give." - Winston Churchill
2. "The problem with most of us is that we work for our money instead of letting our money work for us." - Rick Warren
3. "...I cannot help but long to be a part of this kind of scene in the church today. A scene where we refuse to operate in a mind-set dominated by an American dream that depends on what we can achieve with our own abilities. A scene where we no longer settle for what we can do in our own power. A scene where the church radically trusts in God's great power to provide unlikely people with unlimited, unforseen, uninhibited resources to make his name known as great. I want to be a part of that dream." - David Pratt
I am so happy that you told me about this book! I'm really enjoying it and find myself highlighting quotes along the way as well!
