We have got to make disciples. Fun nights and pizza nights are not going to sustain us.
Francis Chan
Image
I want to live so that I am truly submitted to the Spirit's leading on a daily basis. Christ said its better for us that the Spirit came and I want to live like that is true. I don't want to keep crawling when I have the ability to fly.

I don't want my life to be explainable without the Holy Spirit.

There's no sense in improving your marriage until you are secure with God.

Lukewarm people do not live by faith their lives are structured so that they don't have to.

Refusing to teach a passage of Scripture is just as wrong as abusing it
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.

The point of your life is to point to Him...it is His movie, His world, His gift.
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.

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.

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
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
A person who is obsessed is characterized by committed, settled, passionate love for God, above and before every other thing and every other being.

Image
In the midst of our failed attempts at loving Jesus, His grace covers us.
Francis Chan
Image
Yes, it is God who works in you. And, yes, there is work for you to do. Yes, the Spirit empowers you to do the work. And, yes, you do the work.
Francis Chan
Image
When we become overly concerned about our appearance, our spiritual reputation, our coolness, and our acceptance, we are living as citizens of this world rather than as ambassadors.
Francis Chan
Image
The disciples obey because that's what people do when someone rises from the dead and gives instructions.
Francis Chan
Image
It's a pretty crazy task to try to describe God quickly. Everything starts with a healthy fear of Him.
Francis Chan
Image
Are we in love with God or just His stuff?

I could fill my whole time doing interviews, speaking to crowds, and there's this natural human tendency because of our culture to think that the more people I talk to, the bigger the impact I'll have, and yet Jesus didn't spend His time just speaking to the masses. He spent the bulk of his time with a small group of people.
