When you read the New Testament, you see the Holy Spirit was supposed to change everything so that this gathering of people who call themselves Christians had this supernatural element about them.
Francis Chan
Image
...if God is truly the greatest good on this earth, would He be loving us if He didn't draw us toward what is best for us (even if that happens to be Himself)?
Francis Chan
Image
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
Image
When it's hard and you are doubtful, give more.
Francis Chan
Image
I could fill my whole time doing interviews, speaking to crowds, and there's this natural human tendency because of our culture to think that the more people I talk to, the bigger the impact I'll have, and yet Jesus didn't spend His time just speaking to the masses. He spent the bulk of his time with a small group of people.

Image
Jesus asks for everything, but we try to give Him less.
Francis Chan
Image
People who are obsessed with Jesus aren't consumed with their personal safety and comfort above all else. Obsessed people care more about God's kingdom coming to this earth than their own lives being shielded from pain or distress.
Francis Chan
Image
We have become dangerously comfortable- believers ooze with wealth and let their addictions to comfort and security numb the radical urgency of the gospel.
Francis Chan
Image
Not being able to understand God is frustrating, but it is ridiculous for us to think we have the right to limit God to something we are capable to comprehending.
Francis Chan
Image
Without action and fruit, all the theology in the world has little meaning.
Francis Chan
Image
He wants all or nothing. The thought of a person calling himself a 'Christian' without being a devoted follower of Christ is absurd.
Francis Chan
Image
People who are obsessed with Jesus live lives that connect them with the poor in some way or another. Obsessed people believe that Jesus talked about money and the poor so often because it was really important to Him.
Francis Chan
Image
Yes, it is God who works in you. And, yes, there is work for you to do. Yes, the Spirit empowers you to do the work. And, yes, you do the work.
Francis Chan
Image
...no worship is better than apathetic worship.
Francis Chan
Image
Do you love this God who is everything, or do you just love everything He gives you?
Francis Chan
Image
I don't want my life to be explainable without the Holy Spirit. I want people to look at my life and know I couldn't be doing this by my own power. I want to live in such a way that I am desperate for Him to come through. That if He doesn't come through, I am screwed.
Francis Chan
Image
When we love God because we feel we should love Him, instead of genuinely loving out of our true selves, we have forgotten who God really is.
Francis Chan
Image
A person who is obsessed thinks about heaven frequently. Obsessed people orient their lives around eternity they are not fixed only on what is here in front of them.
Francis Chan
Image
We never grow closer to God when we just live life. It takes deliberate pursuit and attentiveness.
Francis Chan
Image
Lukewarm living and claiming Christ's name simultaneously is utterly disgusting to God.
