If you really want to experience God, go and make disciples.
Francis Chan
Image
The disciples obey because that's what people do when someone rises from the dead and gives instructions.
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.
Francis Chan
Image
Because I want to get a lot done, I can sometimes do that in the flesh. If I don't rest in the Lord, and enjoy him as I should, my action doesn't spring from my identity and enjoyment of Christ. When that happens, I end up getting the glory rather than Jesus.

The greatest knowledge we can ever have is knowing God treasures us.
Francis Chan
Image
Without action and fruit, all the theology in the world has little meaning.
Francis Chan
Image
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.

Our greatest fear should not be of failure but of succeeding at things in life that don't really matter.
Francis Chan
Image
Jesus asks for everything, but we try to give Him less.
Francis Chan
Image
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.

I really believe it's time for some of us to stop apologizing for God and start apologizing to Him for being embarrassed by the ways He has chosen to reveal Himself
Francis Chan
Image
Marriage is one of the most humbling, sanctifying journeys you will ever be a part of. It forces us to wrestle with our selfishness and pride. But it also gives us a platform to display love and commitment.
Francis Chan
Image
God doesn’t call us to be comfortable. He calls us to trust Him.
Francis Chan
Image
Worry implies that we don't quite trust God is big enough, powerful enough, or loving enough to take care of what's happening in our lives.
Francis Chan
Image
Do you love this God who is everything, or do you just love everything He gives you?
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
Lukewarm people think about life on earth much more often than eternity in heaven.
Francis Chan
Image
...I don't have to worry about not meeting His expectations. God will ensure my success in accordance with His plan, not mine.
Francis Chan
Image
I don't want my life to be explainable without the Holy Spirit.
