Quotes for Discussion

• “You don’t have to know a lot of things to make a huge difference for the Lord in the world. But you do need to know a few things that are great and be willing to live for them and die for them. People that make a difference in the world are not people who have mastered a lot of things. They are people who have been mastered by a very few things that are very very great.” (4:20)
• Comparing two stories - missionaries Ruby & Laura with retirees Bob & Penny. Which future are you longing for? (8:55)
• “Only one life, til soon will pass; only what’s done for Christ will last.” (23:15)
• Galatians 6:14 — “boast only in the cross” (28:15)
• “Sin has to do with God, not people...the Bible says you’ve offended God, dishonored God, not trusted God, belittled God. If you get anything good from a holy God it’s because he interposed w/ his blood, his Son and bought everything you have.” (35:50)
