sunday’s scuds (august 22, 2010)

Sunday was week three of the BEHIND THE CURTAIN series. During the month of August we’ve been taking a look at what goes on behind the curtain at NewPointe, why we do what we do, and your role in the plan.

Sunday Dwight talked about what makes us tick. Here are some of the scuds I jotted down:

  • Engaging in a mission requires much more than belief. You have to really care.
  • If somebody’s not doing something it’s not because they don’t know enough, it’s because they don’t care enough.
  • The reason you don’t have passion for God is because you believe it in your head but you don’t believe it in your heart.
  • If you honestly believe that everybody spends forever somewhere, it will change every relationship that you have.
  • Everybody you lay eyes on is someone Christ died for.
  • We have enough churches in Ohio to win Ohio for Christ. The problem is: we don’t have enough unselfish churches.
  • God will not ask you to give away everything you have. He just asks you to be responsible with it.
  • The reason you feel guilty about your stuff is because you think it’s your stuff.
  • A good manager asks the owner: What would you like me to do with your stuff?
  • God’s not impressed with your church attendance.
  • Whatever it is, if it doesn’t move you to action, then you don’t really believe it.
