Final Chapter of Gospel of Yes

I have been sharing posts over the last several weeks from The Gospel of Yes by Mike Glenn. I recommend the book to you. If you want your life and the church to be known as a place of yes rather than no, this book is for you.

Here are some final quotes from the book:

"Over the years I've had to let go of a lot of concepts of God that proved too small to contain the God I was trying to follow."

"When you find your "yes" and it aligns with the greater "yes" of God to his world, things bigger than you always happen."

"No matter the circumstances, no matter how loud the "no" that I was dealing with, Christ would bring a "yes" that would give meaning and hope."

"If God tells us "no", then his "yes" has promoted the "no."

"So the people of Jesus have to find a way to be the "yes" of Christ to our wounded world."

"The church has to become a place of "yes."

"Every day we are pelted with "nos." The world, including most religions, works overtime to tell us what we are not, who we are not, and what we will never be. But Jesus tells us "yes", and his "yes" trumps everything."
