Chris will be sharing some thoughts with us connected to his new book, Unexpected Gifts: Discovering the Way of Community.

Last updated on: February 3, 2013 at 11:02 pm By Andrew Marin

He says, ‘If our job is... Read more

Feb 8: My One Sentence Bible

Last updated on: April 26, 2013 at 1:51 pm By Andrew Marin

What is My One Sentence Bible? What one speaks shows their heart. What one stays silent about shows their cowardliness. [John 12:37-50] Leaders who are intentional about setting great expectations will have followers ready to meet such goals. [John 13:1-20] It is important to ‘name’ cowardly acts and betrayals so that others have the knowledge to stand with, and support you. [John 13:21-30] Much love. www.themarinfoundation.org Read more

Last updated on: February 6, 2013 at 4:41 pm By Andrew Marin

What is My One Sentence Bible? Haters lack any perspective, only wanting to rid their existence of anyone who might expose their evil ways. [John 12:1-11] Have an eye towards history so you can fully understand the happenings of the present. [John 12:12-19] Life is not about inching to death but of reveling in the light while it is upon us. [John 12:20-36] Much love. www.themarinfoundation.org Read more

What is My One Sentence Bible? It’s ok to cry when you’re sad. Don’t ever hold those tears back. [John 11:33-37] Don’t let cultural norms stop dictate your work and stop you from doing a miracle. [John 11:38-44] Those who worship their power will literally say and do anything to keep the status quo at the expense of everything except themselves.

What is My One Sentence Bible? More than anything, haters can’t stand when you respond to their simple accusations with nuanced truth, and then see everyone around believing you and not them. [John 10:34-42] Steadfast loyalty to those willing to make sacrifices is a main characteristic of Jesus. [John 11:1-16] Steadfast loyalty of those willing to make sacrifices to believe is a main characteristic of the ones who follow Jesus. [John 11:17-33] Much love. www.themarinfoundation.org Read more
