At a comedy gig - the venue host said to a guy in the front who he was having a jokey debate with:
"Some things in life go without saying, can you be one of those things?"
"If war breaks out I will trust the Lord" - On a guy's t-shirt (It's a verse from Psalms but not sure which)
After Viv got soaked in the rain before a seminar we were talking about pnemonia, and she told me about how her mum got pnemonia after being baptised...
"Welcome to eternal life, if you can make it through this one!" - Viv
"Never say Christianity's easy" - Viv
Lol.
"Don't hide behind Times New Roman" - On a rather cool 'Dialogue' t-shirt
See it here
Rather amusing trainee vicar - Paul from Bristol - did one of the evening talks, was v. good (as were all of them actually)... anyway, a couple of quotes from him:
"Go up north, have some naan bread" - Paul
Apparently the naan bread up north is huge and is lovely with curry
"Mark 1, 21 to 28; It'll be on the screen in case you lost your bible at the kebab van" - Paul
"You gotta love the bible, it does make me laugh sometimes" - Paul
... [Talking about the people following Jesus forgetting to eat - feeding of the 4000]
"3 days! I mean, I don't forget to eat in 3 hours let alone 3 days!" - Paul
"Akatharton Pneumaton"
Means 'unclean spirit' - Paul was very proud of having learnt this word so he told it to us and used it many times in his talk :P
"I don't know what you've come here for, I mean you could be coming to praise God or you could be coming to try and get a girlfriend or boyfriend. I mean some of you guys look like 'Yeah Paul, well, we've only got 2 hours left so if you could be quick' [us lot laughing]. But you know, the best girlfriend or boyfriend will be the one standing at the front, arms in the air, praising God, not the one you've seen sitting on everyone's laps down at the food court [more laughing/clapping/'whoo'ing]. So if you see someone who's praising God, going to seminars, writing notes, reading their bible, and all that; try and pull that person." - Paul
Won't be word for word but quite a lot is direct quotes I think (I tried) and the fill in bits are the right gist.
Note about this section - the talk - I did actually take more spiritual content in, lol, I just chose to put these up here as they amused me.
Kev from 29th chapter did a quick bit at the beginning of a talk - he was talking about love and how it's easy to love people of our own status, and the 'lovable' but what about others? Just a couple of bits he said - you'll get the gist.
"Let us be cosy - touch each other"
"It's nice, very nice"
"LOVE!"
Lol, there was a rather amused response from the room packed with teens.
"We're too young to understand that certain things are impossible, so we'll do them anyway" - Pitt, from the film 'Amazing Grace'
This clip was played to us in a Thirst for Justice seminar
Krish Kandiah talked in Thursday's evening celebration, he was talking about 'Heaven on Earth'. Here's a couple of quotes from him.
Talking about heaven
"It'll be like being at New Wine all the time except with better toilets and showers" - Krish
Telling us about when he asked his kids (aged 7/8) what they wanted to do in the future
"So I asked him and he said he wanted to be a doctor, so that he could help people for God, and I was like 'Yes, Theologically correct son!'" - Krish
From a Walk Through the Bible seminar
"Murder by donkey's jawbone" - Gav
Samson vs Philestines
Story of Samson and Delilah:
"So here's a lesson to you guys - Lying to girls is a bad idea" - Gav
Later on:
"Another lesson, Lying to a girl twice is a very bad idea" - Gav
"Fall in love? I'd rather fall in chocolate" - T-shirt
I didn't see it, it was a comment in a talk from a guy called Mark
Nicola and Claire got some really disgusting orange juice and were trying to get other people to drink some because they didn't want it - Viv said ok and these were her comments afterward:
"Are you sure this came from an orange?" - Viv
"No fruit were harmed in the making of this drink" - Viv
So yeah, that's all the quotes I had down in my little pretty note-taking book :)
Yay for New Wine!
