Quotes from Donald Millers book, "Seaching FOR GOD knows what"
"I realized the gospel of Jesus, I mean the essence of God's message to mankind, wasn't a bunch of hoops we need to jump through to get saved, and it wasn't a series of ideas we had to agree with either; rather, it was an invitation, an invitation to know God."
"God is a person who is incredibly patient with humanity."
"...we are all guilty of changing Jesus around in order to make Him more like ourselves."
"The very scary thing about religion, to me, is that people actually believe God is who they think He is."
"Truth grew in my mind like a fungus, and though I tried to keep it out, there was no resisting the epiphanies."
"If i weren't a Christian, and I kept seeing Christain leaders on television more concerned with money, fame, and power than with grace, love , and social justice, I wouldn't want to believe in God at all."
"The gospel of Jesus is the most relevant message in the history of mankind."
"What if, because we were constantlytrying to dissect His message, we were missing the blatant invitation? I began to wonder if becoming a Christain did not work more like falling in love than agreeing with a list of true principles."
"...in that their goal when reading scripture was to see Christ in every verse, and not a mirror image of themselves."
...more to come...
