I’ve had some folks ask for quotes and resources from this past Sunday’s sermon. We kicked off a new series that’ll cover some of the personal interactions in Jesus’ ministry.

So, here are the quotes from this past Sunday, and a list of my primary resources so far:

Mother Teresa:

“Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat.”

“I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.”

“I know that God won’t give me more that I can bare. I just wish he didn’t trust me so much.”

Bob Pierce (founder of World Vision):

“Let my heart be broken with the things that break God’s heart”

Susan Moeller, from the book Compassion Fatigue:

“In the news business one dead fireman in Brooklyn, is worth five English bobbies, who are worth 50 Arabs, who are worth 500 Africans.”

Primary Resources:

1. The Hole in Our Gospel, Richard Stearns
2. Ministries of Mercy: The Call of the Jericho Road, Tim Keller
3. Moments With the Savior: A Devotional Life of Christ, Ken Gire

Hope it helps!
