Steve Mcvey Quotes

If I need to apologize for misrepresenting God's love I'd rather apologize for overstating His love than for understating it. ~ Steve McVey

The old-time-religion and today's cutting-edge-religion have one thing in common - they're both religion. I want neither.
~ Steve McVey

When people form their opinion about God from what they hear from contemporary legalistic religion, it's no wonder they conclude that God is a cranky, old, bookkeeping, judgmental, demanding deity who is more interested in people's behavior than anything else. It would be easy to see how a god like that would be angry much of the time.
Sadly, people who hold that view of God impose it on the Bible and interpret the Bible to present a God like that. Nothing could be further from the truth. I'm not saying that our God is a milquetoast, a mild-mannered god who can be managed. He's no kitten, that for sure. ~ Steve McVey

The flavor is not the important element. What really matters is the water. If th pitcher (Christian) is filled with water (Jesus), the flavor (personality) of th tea doesn't really matter. Some people will be drawn to Christ because of the appeal of one flavor, while other unsaved people will be more receptive to anothr. As long as they receive the Water of LIfe, what difference does the flavor make? ~ Steve McVey

The underlying foundation of all religion is performance - whether it's a tribal dance around a campfire to satisfy the fire god, or a dead religious activity performed week after week by an evangelical Christian with the intent of impressing his God. It's all religious performance, and God isn't impressed by our performance. What impresses Him is faith. ~ Steve McVey

If you have seen your God through the lens of legalistic religion, you most likely have believed that God was warning them [Adam and Eve] that He would punsih them if they ate from the tree. Nothing could be further from the heart or intent of God. He wouldn't kill them - sin would kill them. God wasn't warning them about what He would do but about what sin would do to them. ~ Steve McVey

Understanding the Trinity is more important than many Christians realize. Why does it matter that He is triune? It matters because as three in one, our God is first and foremost relational. In the eternal realm, the Father, Son, and Spirit have always existed and forever will exist in a circle of intimate love. ~ Steve McVey

The Father, Son, and Spirit already knew and enjoyed a perfect relationship, so why else would He purpose to create a species with which He might share this love? What could possibly motivate Him to want to expand the circle? Love - that is the only possible reason. Our God is a selfless, generous, other-centered, giving God. He didn't need you. He wanted you! ~ Steve McVey

Paul says that in order to prove the will of God in our lives, we must become like Isaac. We must totally surrender ourselves to God, yielding to His purpose regardless of what it may be. Absolute abandon to God is the foundation in knowing His will. ~ Steve McVey

First of all I have to ask myself what am I trying to say and who am I trying to tell the story to.

When I created Chipotle in 1993, I had a very simple idea: Offer a simple menu of great food prepared fresh each day, using many of the same cooking techniques as gourmet restaurants.
