More quotes by Francis Chan
Even in my own church I heard the words, 'Francis Chan' more than I heard the words, 'Holy Spirit.'
Francis Chan
The idea of holding back certainly didn't come from Scripture.
Francis Chan
A key to everything is surrender - to really come before the Lord and say, 'I will literally stay here as long as you want me to stay' or 'God, I will really go anywhere on the earth.'
Francis Chan
The wise man comes to God without saying a word and stands in awe of Him.
Francis Chan
The world says love yourself, grab all you can, follow your heart. Jesus says deny yourself, grab your cross and follow me.
Francis Chan
God never excuses sin. And He is always consistent with that ethic. Whenever we start to question whether God really hates sin, we have only to think of the cross, where His Son was tortured, mocked, and beaten because of sin. Our sin
Francis Chan
We are here to love. Not much else matters.
Francis Chan
When I don't think biblically, I go nuts. I just go, 'This is crazy.'
Francis Chan
There are periods that we forget that in the pursuit of fruit, that if we just abide in Him, then fruitfulness is a guarantee.
Francis Chan
If you want to see the big stuff that God has, you've got to take some risk and trust only in the Gospel.
Francis Chan
The irony is that while God doesn't need us but still wants us, we desperately need God but don't really want Him most of the time. He treasures us and anticipates our departure from this earth to be with Him-and we wonder, indifferently, how much we have to do for Him to get by.
Francis Chan
A person who is obsessed with Jesus knows that the sin of pride is always a battle. Obsessed people know that you can never be humble enough, and so they seek to make themselves less known and Christ more known (Mt 5:16).
Francis Chan
The point of your life is to point to Him. Whatever you are doing, God wants to be glorified, because this whole thing is His.
Francis Chan
The Bible says that when we obey God’s commands, we benefit. I think we naturally assume that if we look out for our own interests and concerns, we will be happy. But people who sacrifice for others will tell you that seasons of giving are the most rewarding of their lives.
Francis Chan
God has given you this good stuff so that you can show the world a person who enjoys blessings, but who is still totally obsessed with God.
Francis Chan
Where it gets weird is that nowadays there are millions of people on this earth who call themselves followers of Jesus, but their lives look nothing like His, and they're not obeying the things that He called them to do.
Francis Chan
Lukewarm people will serve God and others, but there are limits to how far they will go or how much time, money, and energy they are willing to give.
Francis Chan
God is the only being who is good, and the standards are set by Him. Because God hates sin, He has to punish those guilty of sin. Maybe that's not an appealing standard. But to put it bluntly, when you get your own universe, you can make your own standards.
Francis Chan
We never grow closer to God when we just live life. It takes deliberate pursuit and attentiveness.
Francis Chan
When the church really takes on the humble characteristics of Christ, that's going to lead to revival.
