1 " This is perhaps why so many of us who know love fear love. We know that love is not the absence of pain. If anything, love is the promise of pain. No one has loved more deeply than God. Has anyone ever been more betrayed? God would not know suffering if He did not know love. But because He is Love, He chose to suffer on our behalf. Without love there is no glory in suffering. "
― Erwin Raphael McManus , The Barbarian Way: Unleash the Untamed Faith Within
2 " We are called to fear only God. There is an important reason for this. What we fear is what we're subject to; our fears define our master. Where there is no fear, there is no control. "
3 " While never violating our uniqueness, we move together, united in heart and soul. Our greatness is unleashed in the context of community. When we move together, God is most perfectly revealed in us. "
4 " God is not a drug, and He certainly does not create experiences and emotions that make us feel better but not become better. "
5 " The entire focus of our faith has been the elimination of sin, which is important but inadequate, rather than the unleashing of a unique, original, extraordinary, wonderfully untamed faith. "
6 " God’s will for us is less about our comfort than it is about our contribution. God "
7 " Jesus is being lost in a religion bearing His name. "
