Why is it that we believe God's promises of blessing but not his promises of punishment?
Francis Chan

The message of the Bible is not about God in Heaven who wants to take from you. It's about God who wants to give to you.

Image
God has given you this good stuff so that you can show the world a person who enjoys blessings, but who is still totally obsessed with God.

People who are obsessed with God have an intimate relationship with Him. They are nourished by God's Word throughout the day because they know that forty minutes on Sunday is not enough to sustain them for a whole week, especially when they will encounter so many distractions and alternative messages.

...you will have a choice: to adjust how you live daily or to stay the same.

A person who is obsessed with Jesus knows that the best thing he can do is be faithful to his Savior in every aspect of his life, continually saying Thank You! to God. An obsessed person knows there can never be intimacy if he is always trying to pay God back or work hard enough to be worthy. He revels in his role as a child and friend of God.

Francis Chan
Image
Doesn't every encounter with God only cause us to thirst for Him more?
Francis Chan
Image
The point is not to completely understand God but to worship Him. Let the very fact that you cannot know Him fully lead you to praise Him for His infiniteness and grandeur.
Francis Chan
Image
Without action and fruit, all the theology in the world has little meaning.
Francis Chan
Image
God is so clear in spelling out His attributes in scripture in order that others would know what He is really like.

I don't want to keep crawling when i have the ability to fly.
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.

In the craziness of our world, it takes tremendous effort to find a quiet place. It takes time to quiet your mind and your heart before the Lord.

With my natural communication abilities, I could probably gather a crowd even without the Spirit.
