Andy Stanley's Deep & Wide

Finished reading Andy Stanley's Deep and Wide and much like some other book I've read, I'll probably have several future posts about it.  Here's a few of the statements that immediately jumped out at me:

• Teaching the Word of God isn’t about knowing stuff; it is about doing stuff
• People are far more interested in what works than what’s true.  
• There is a direct correlation between a person’s private devotional life and his or her personal faith.
• When people are convinced you want something FOR them rather than something FROM them, they are less likely to be offended when you challenge them.
• Our culture needs to understand that the foundation of the Christian faith is not an infallible Bible.  The foundation of our faith is a single event in history attested to by individuals  who lived and wrote during the days when this event transpired.
• Knowledge alone makes Christians haughty.  Application makes us holy.
• I figure if we can get the Christians in our country to live out what the Bible teaches on that handful of topics (marriage, money, parenting, generosity, greed, sexual purity, forgiveness, and decision-making), that would pretty much change everything.
