I want to see people do more than simply raise their hand when they come to Christ. Where are the totally changed lives?
Francis Chan
Image
People who are obsessed with Jesus do not consider service a burden. Obsessed people take joy in loving God by loving His people (Mt 13:44)(Jn 15:8).
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).

The greatest knowledge we can ever have is knowing God treasures us.

When the church really takes on the humble characteristics of Christ, that's going to lead to revival.

My love for prayer was an answer to prayer.

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

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.

People who are obsessed are raw with God they do not attempt to mask the ugliness of their sins or their failures. Obsessed people don't put it on for God He is their safe place, where they can be at peace.

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?

Image
Lukewarm living and claiming Christ's name simultaneously is utterly disgusting to God.
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.

Image
If life is a river, then pursuing Christ requires swimming upstream. When we stop swimming, or actively following Him, we automatically begin to be swept downstream.
Francis Chan
Image
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.

I confess to you guys, I confess to the church, I know I have backed away from certain things because of my arrogance. I thought I could attract more people to Jesus by hiding certain things about him.
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.
Francis Chan

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

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

Jesus' call to commitment is clear: He wants all or nothing.

Why would we need to experience the Comforter if our lives are already comfortable?
