We often think of prayer as a means to an end. Prayer is the goal.
Francis Chan
Image
But God doesn't call us to be comfortable. He calls us to trust Him so completely that we are unafraid to put ourselves in situations where we will be in trouble if He doesn't come through.
Francis Chan
Image
Churches we build only by our own efforts and not in the strength of the Spirit will quickly collapse when we don't push and prod people along.

Image
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.

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.

...I don't have to worry about not meeting His expectations. God will ensure my success in accordance with His plan, not mine.

He has more of a right to ask us why so many people are starving [than we do to ask Him]. As much as we want God to explain himself to us, His creation, we are in no place to demand that He give an account to us.

God my Creator said, 'Go and make disciples.' So I don't want to sit and make excuses.

Why is it that we believe God's promises of blessing but not his promises of punishment?
Francis Chan

A person who is obsessed with Jesus is more concerned with his or her character than comfort. Obsessed people know that true joy doesn't depend on circumstances or environment it is a gift that must be chosen and cultivated, a gift that ultimately comes from God (James 1:2-4).

Don’t believe something just because you want to, and don’t embrace an idea just because you’ve always believed it. Believe what is biblical. Test all your assumptions against the precious words God gave us in the Bible.

God is so clear in spelling out His attributes in scripture in order that others would know what He is really like.
Francis Chan
Image
The point of your life is to point to Him...it is His movie, His world, His gift.

Has your relationship with God changed the way you live your life?
Francis Chan
Image
I want to see people do more than simply raise their hand when they come to Christ. Where are the totally changed lives?
Francis Chan

The church becomes irrelevant when it becomes purely a human creation. We are not all we were made to be when everything in our lives and churches can be explained apart from the work and presence of the Spirit of God.

Life is about Jesus. We are not here to tell our story, but His.
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.

If I have a script, I tend to stick to it even if God may be leading me elsewhere in the moment.

With my natural communication abilities, I could probably gather a crowd even without the Spirit.
