This thing that haunts you, that never seems satisfied, the cravings in your soul that you are unable to satiate through all the success that the world can bring this is your soul screaming for God.

Home is ultimately not about a place to live but about the people with whom you are most fully alive. Home is about love, relationship, community, and belonging, and we are all searching for home.

The epicenter of creativity and imagination should be the Church, reflecting the character and glory of God.

I"m often accused of being irreligious, and I suppose it's for this very reason. Whether it's Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Catholicism, Hinduism, Judaism, or any other ism, when a religioin is created on the subtle premise that God withholds his love and you must submit to the system to earn that love, I consider it the worst of corruptions... For centuries, the church has been telling us that if we want God to love us, we need to follow the rules. It's been far more important to focus on the sin problem than the love problem.

Love, no matter how you come at it, is a huge risk. It makes it easier for me to remember that God will never reject me because I am not good enough and that any community that has His heart will embrace me as I am. Jesus invites us into a community where imperfect people can find acceptance, love, forgiveness, and a new beginning.

We need both to aspire and accomplish. Without a vision for your life, without a sense of purpose, you will begin to die a slow death.
Erwin McManus -
The Church is not segregated by region or cities. That's an antiquated view of the world. We are united with churches all over the world working toward common goals based on shared values. Mosaic is one of the most racially diverse churches on the planet. Our community and extended Church family is global and completely integrated.

Greatness comes with discipline.
Erwin McManus -
Your soul craves truth, beauty, wonder, love. Your soul craves to dream, to imagine, and even simply to understand. Your soul craves to connect, to commune, to create.
Erwin McManus -
Deeper than our instinct to live is our longing to be alive.
Erwin McManus -
When we stop believing the world can become a better place, when we stop caring about the lives and conditions of others, we lose a part of ourselves.

People who are fully alive look out of their minds to those who simply exist.
Erwin McManus -
You need to remember who God is, forget the painful wounds and let Him renew you.
Erwin McManus -
Jesus did not have a value for prayer for prayer's sake. He had a value for the intimate communion between God and man.

It is not balance you need but adaptability.
