It hit me that the students were talking about me, not God. I was standing before a holy God and robbing Him of the glory that was rightfully His.
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.
Francis Chan
Image
We have to learn how to control our minds. We have to learn self-control.
Francis Chan
Image
A disciple is a disciple maker.
Francis Chan
Image
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
Image
The greatest knowledge we can ever have is knowing God treasures us.

We have control over our prayer life, our relationship with Jesus.

God wants to change us so much that it intrigues others.
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.
Francis Chan
Image
Sometimes we shrink from leadership because our pride makes us afraid of failure. That's not humility.
Francis Chan
Image
Again, our marriage problems are not really marriage problems. They are heart problems. They are God problems. Our lack of intimacy with God causes a void that we try to fill with the frailest of substitutes. Like wealth or pleasure. Like fame or respect. Like people. Like marriage.
Francis Chan
Image
When we work for Christ out of obligation, it feels like work. But when we truly love Christ, our work is a manifestation of that love, and it feels like love.
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
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.
Francis Chan
Image
Trust whatever He has for you. It will be better than anything you can plan for yourself.
Francis Chan
Image
Our greatest fear should not be of failure but of succeeding at things in life that don't really matter.
Francis Chan
Image
Jesus didn't say that if you wanted to follow Him you could do it in a lukewarm manner. He said, 'Take up your cross and follow Me.'

When I don't think biblically, I go nuts. I just go, 'This is crazy.'
