I was sick all day yesterday and missed all our services. Fortunately, several churches have online campuses and I was able to really enjoy church online. Well, about as good as you can enjoy an online service while dealing with stomach issues and flu-like symptoms (eww).
I logged onto NewSpring's online campus and watched Perry Noble speak. NewSpring is currently in a series called "Bailout." I'm including my notes here from the message (or what some would call "Perryisms.")
“I think pro wrestling is real.” (yea! take that you haters!)
"We feel like the economy has put us in a submission hold."
“We’re taking our eyes off of Jesus and putting them on the economy.”
“God has not lost one ounce of sleep about where the stock market is.”
“Our 401k has turned into a 201k.”
“I’m about to mess with your god.”
"What I'm teaching requires discipline."
“We don’t like discipline. We want it now.”
“A bailout will occur when our bondage to bling is broken.”
Ask yourself, "What does Jesus expect?"
“Are your lips and your lifestyle matched up?”
Jesus didn't say "if" in this passage, he said "when" you give... (Matthew 6)
He [Jesus] spoke over 2,000 times about money, 500 times about prayer.
“I hate working abs about as much as I hate cats.”
“If you need to meet with me to give your gift, you just need to sit on it for a while.”
"Sometimes people strip the bride of Christ of her wedding dress and put lingerie on her."
"You won't find names on chairs here at NewSpring. This is God's church."
“Christians should be the most generous people on the planet.”
“You all are listening way too slow. Stay with me.”
“God’s B.S. meter works so well.”
“The two biggest problems in this country are consumer debt and obesity. It’s not because we don’t have enough. It’s because we don’t manage what we have well.”
“Your heart always follows your money.”
Ask yourself: "Where is your heart?"
“This church is going to survive without your money. If you don’t believe me, give to another church.”
“Don't count on your inheritance. Your grandma has already spent your inheritance. She bought a Buick.”
“In Kenya, I watched people who have nothing give.”
"Lets not lie and say Jesus has our heart when he doesn't have our treasure."
Ask yourself: "Who do I serve?"
"Satan is bad all the time, all the time Satan is bad" - Craig Groeschel
"They key to overcoming our money problem is winning the battle with our eyes."
"Money is the primary competitor of our hearts."
“What do you need to do to put Jesus first in your life?”
"God doesn't want to be in our top 5. He wants to be number 1."
...and if you scrolled to the end of this post because you didn't want to read my notes, here is the message in 46 seconds.
