Radicalis Conference

Today it was mostly Rick Warren.  Great information.  The guy is the king of the Zingers:-)

Here are a few Warren quotes from the conference:

"Never confuse Prominence with significance or fame with influence.  We want to live lives of influence and significance, not prominence and fame."

"Don't just tell it like it is. Pastor's MUST tell it like it should be."

"Nagging from the pulpit works about as good as nagging in marriage."

"All growing churches are the results of risks the pastor has taken."

"Ministry is received not achieved"

"Two things determine our lives: "Our decisions and our response to God."

"When you are coasting, you are always going downhill!"  (Love that!)

"I only believe the parts of the Bible I'm willing to do!"

"The heart of the problem is  problem of the heart."

"God doesn't want your money, He wants you."

"You are always going to have EGR people (Extra Grace Required)

"In every Family there is always a cousin Goober."

"Most people don't want to be fixed. They want to be heard."

"If you love Jesus, tithe. Any idiot can honk!"

"Money is a spiritual test:  If you want to know your devotion to God, check your checkbook and your calendar."
