As a culture, were so worried about whats going to happen to us 30 years from now that we are not taking care of our brothers and sisters who need help today.

The world needs Christians who don't tolerate the complacency of their own lives.

People accuse me of going overboard preparing for my first ten million years in eternity in my opinion, people go overboard in worrying about their last ten on earth.

True faith means holding nothing back it bets everything on the hope of eternity

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
Image
...I don't have to worry about not meeting His expectations. God will ensure my success in accordance with His plan, not mine.

It is not scientific doubt, not atheism, not pantheism, not agnosticism, that in our day and in this land is likely to quench the light of the gospel. It is a proud, sensuous, selfish, luxurious, church-going, hollow-hearted prosperity.

...our concern is more about going to heaven than loving the King.

A person who is obsessed with Jesus is more concerned with his or her character than comfort. Obsessed people know that true joy doesn't depend on circumstances or environment it is a gift that must be chosen and cultivated, a gift that ultimately comes from God (James 1:2-4).

Without action and fruit, all the theology in the world has little meaning.
Francis Chan
Image
The fact is, Scripture is filled with divine actions that don't fit our human standards of logic or morality. But they don't need to, because we are the clay and He is the Potter. We need to stop trying to domesticate God or confine Him to tidy categories and compartments that reflect our human sentiments rather than His inexplicable ways.
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
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
Image
...no worship is better than apathetic worship.

Image
If you want to see the big stuff that God has, you've got to take some risk and trust only in the Gospel.

Image
Joy is something that we have to choose and then work for.
Francis Chan
Image
The world says love yourself, grab all you can, follow your heart. Jesus says deny yourself, grab your cross and follow me.

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.

There are periods that we forget that in the pursuit of fruit, that if we just abide in Him, then fruitfulness is a guarantee.
