sermon quotes

Am I the only one that does this? We had a guest preacher this past Sunday, Dr. Gary Kindley, and he had some great lines that I wrote down. I haven't fact checked them, but they sure sounded impressive.

Desmond Tutu said, "We may be surprised at the people we find in heaven. God has a soft spot for sinners. His standards are quite low."

Dr. Gary Kindley said, "How dare we blame God for the problems of this world when God has given us all we need to make this world work and make sure no child goes to bed hungry -- it is our greed and our lust for power that hinders us."

Dr. Gary Kindley said, "If you have a full tummy and an extra set of clothes, you are wealthier than one billion people in the world."

Dr. Gary Kindley said, "UMCOR (the United Methodist Committee on Relief) feeds one million children a day."

Dr. Gary Kindley said, "the United Methodist Church is the most diverse Protestant Church in the world. When you take out all the white people, we are the largest African-American Protestant Church in the world. When you take out all the white people and all the African-American people, we are the largest Korean Protestant Church in the world. When you take out all the white people and all the African American people and all the Korean people, we are the largest Native American Protestant Church in the world."

I thought they were worth writing down...
