Quotes by Dillon Burroughs

As we work together as a team, God grows our dreams into something greater than we can accomplish alone.

Treat people like family because they are.

When God gives you a passion for a particular cause, there is a reason for it, and that reason is not to keep it to yourself. You are called to be a representative for those in need.

Sometimes you are the answer to your own prayer.

Why is it that we feel bad when “all” we can do for a person is pray for them? We feel like we need to work to help, but remember: prayer is the work.

When others doubt the power of Jesus, be the one who asks Him to perform the impossible. He often will.

Since God exists outside of time, He also has all of the time He needs to personally act in each of our lives. There is never a rush to the next meeting or the next message.

We dare not forget the power of prayer.

Trust is tough. Once trust has been broken by multiple people on multiple occasions, believing in anyone or anything becomes increasingly difficult. Much of the skepticism of our world can be traced back to broken trust.

When Jesus was interrupted, He started where He was and helped those in need who were nearest to Him. There is always another mission “out there”—the next cause, the next city, or the next country that seems to be the most important mission we could pursue. Jesus illustrates that our greatest mission is often the person in front of us.

We want to care most about what Jesus cares most about.

Jesus cares more about our effort than our accomplishments.

Be willing to be unliked and ridiculed in order to speak the words of the One who matters most.

In our modern world, we often separate faith from practice. But the way of Jesus rejects this notion. Only living our faith offers the credibility to teach our faith. Anything less is less that the teachings of Christ.

Jesus rejoices in even the smallest gifts to His children.

Then I read that Jesus was a friend of sinners. This still bothers me. Not because Jesus was a friend of sinners (because that came in really handy in my case). It bothered me because if Im trying to live like Jesus, that means Im supposed to be a friend of sinners too.

Jesus came to give us life. We dont have to hang on a cross like he did. For him, it was a sacrifice. For us, it is a gift.

The first miracle Jesus performed was instant winemaking. No wonder people loved Him! He probably received a bunch of wedding invitations after that one.

Compassion without action is meaningless.

When your goal is not fame or notoriety, you can simply show up, offer compassion to people, and let God do His work.
