1 " ...people live longer when they decide to become passionately involved in something beyond themselves. "
― Mark Batterson , A Trip Around the Sun: Turning Your Everyday Life Into the Adventure of a Lifetime
2 " Anytime I'm not reading my Bible or praying, I feel like I'm wasting my time. [Mark's brother-in-law, Matt ________, speaking] "
3 " Learning is the heart of discipleship. You can't just take up your cross daily. You need to take up the Bible every day. "
4 " ...love people when they least expect it and least deserve it. That is the kind of love Jesus shows to us. "
5 " ...if you can truly surrender to Him, you will do more, be more, experience more. Life will just be more. "
6 " ...if you're walking with Jesus and you invite someone to walk with you, there is a good chance they'll get to know Jesus somewhere along the way. "
7 " Following Jesus is a verb. "
8 " Goals have a way of refocusing your life. They give you purpose and a target to shoot for. They are the compass of our dreams, helping us set a steady course. Goals comprise direction and progress. When we lose sight of our goals, we tend to lose sight of ourselves and who we are trying to become, who God has made us to be. "
9 " Your ability to see failure as a necessary stepping stone directly correlates with your ability to dream bigger and dream better. "
10 " I want to go after dreams that are destined to fail without diving intervention. "
11 " The very nature of the gospel is Jesus inviting the disciples on an adventure. To do what they'd never done and go where they'd never gone. Never a dull moment! You cannot follow Jesus and be bored at the same time. "
12 " Part of discovering the adventure God has designed you for is learning how to frame it or reframe it. "
13 " You don't have to go looking for adventure. If you follow Jesus, adventure comes looking for you. Jesus didn't carry a cross to Calvary so that we could live a halfway life. He died so that we could come alive in the truest and fullest sense of the word. "
14 " True knowledge should not produce pride; it should produce humility...Because the more you know, the more you know how much you don't know. "
15 " ...we think so much about the present and so little about eternity that we turn eternity into nothing and nothing into eternity. "
16 " ...success is when those who know you best respect you most. "
17 " Whatever you don't turn into praise turns into pride. "
18 " How we spend our money, however little we have, still reveals what we value. "
19 " Loving God is laying down your life in service to the Creator so that He can give it back to you. "
20 " ...your life is your sermon...Are you a good translation? "
