More quotes by 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
A person who is obsessed with Jesus knows that the best thing he can do is be faithful to his Savior in every aspect of his life, continually saying Thank You! to God. An obsessed person knows there can never be intimacy if he is always trying to pay God back or work hard enough to be worthy. He revels in his role as a child and friend of God.
Francis Chan
True faith means holding nothing back it bets everything on the hope of eternity
Francis Chan
Grace is when you should be totally punished but are blessed for no reason.
Francis Chan
God my Creator said, 'Go and make disciples.' So I don't want to sit and make excuses.
Francis Chan
Life is about Jesus. We are not here to tell our story, but His.
Francis Chan
People who are obsessed with God are known as givers, not takers. Obsessed people genuinely think that others matter as much as they do, and they are particularly aware of those who are poor around the world (James 2:14-26).
Francis Chan
Lukewarm people call 'radical' what Jesus expected of all His followers.
Francis Chan
Even in my own church I heard the words, 'Francis Chan' more than I heard the words, 'Holy Spirit.'
Francis Chan
He measures our lives by how we love.
Francis Chan
...our concern is more about going to heaven than loving the King.
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
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
Without action and fruit, all the theology in the world has little meaning.
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.
Francis Chan
I was raised Christian after age 5, but I didn't really understand it until high school. A friend of mine invited me to his youth group. There I heard the gospel, understood it, and accepted it.
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
If you really want to experience God, go and make disciples.
Francis Chan
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
We are here to love. Not much else matters.
Francis Chan
