Challenging Quotes

As I got to my office this morning I was inspired to pull out a little book I have owned since I was just a kid. The book is called "Challenging Quotes for World Changers." It was my favorite book for years, and I still enjoy pulling it out from time to time. It always challenges and stretches me. I want to share 10 of my all time favorite quotes from my all time favorite book. These quotes help me to keep perspective and set direction. I pray as I share these quotes they challenge you as they have again challenged me.

As a church it is imperative that we keep focused on our mission. Our mission is not to build our own kingdom, but to build His Kingdom. There is a lost world that surrounds us. Let us always be a church that is about them and not about us. Each of us play a part in the evangelization of our world. Find your part - step out boldly - make a difference.
