More quotes by Francis Chan
Frankly, you need to get over yourself. It might sound harsh, but that's seriously what it means [1 Corinthians 10:31].
Francis Chan
Many Spirit-filled authors have exhausted the thesaurus in order to describe God with the glory He deserves. His perfect holiness, by definition, assures us that our words can't contain Him. Isn't it a comfort to worship a God we cannot exaggerate?
Francis Chan
The idea of holding back certainly didn't come from Scripture.
Francis Chan
Fear of God failing us leads us to cover for God. This means we ask, expect, and are satisfied with less.
Francis Chan
We live in a time when Christians need to be told that they are supposed to live like Christ. That's Weird.
Francis Chan
Just as you did not come to Christ on your own, neither will you remain in Christ on your own.
Francis Chan
Grace is when you should be totally punished but are blessed for no reason.
Francis Chan
When the church really takes on the humble characteristics of Christ, that's going to lead to revival.
Francis Chan
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
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
God is calling you to a passionate love relationship with Himself. The answer to religious complacency isn't working harder at a list of do's and don'ts-it's falling in love with God.
Francis Chan
My pride and immaturity caused me to make things more of a struggle than they had to be. I can always blame others or circumstances, but the truth was that my own sinful pride led to more stress than anything else.
Francis Chan
We are each given different gifts and talents by our Master. The thing that matters most is how we use what we have been given, not how much we make or do compared to someone else. What matters is that we spend ourselves.
Francis Chan
Solomon warned us not to rush into God’s presence with words. That’s what fools do. And often, that’s what we do.
Francis Chan
I don't want to lose the awe we get to help another human being.
Francis Chan
Parents are supposed to instruct their kids. It doesn't mean they necessarily have that gift of teaching.
Francis Chan
Even in my own church I heard the words, 'Francis Chan' more than I heard the words, 'Holy Spirit.'
Francis Chan
Having faith often means doing what others see as crazy.
Francis Chan
True faith means holding nothing back it bets everything on the hope of eternity
Francis Chan
It's a pretty crazy task to try to describe God quickly. Everything starts with a healthy fear of Him.
