More quotes by Francis Chan
Having faith often means doing what others see as crazy.
Francis Chan
We often think of prayer as a means to an end. Prayer is the goal.
Francis Chan
...there is still a need for those of us nestled deep within the Christian bubble to look beyond the status quo and critically assess the degree to which we are really living biblically.
Francis Chan
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.
Francis Chan
Without action and fruit, all the theology in the world has little meaning.
Francis Chan
We have to learn how to control our minds. We have to learn self-control.
Francis Chan
Lukewarm living and claiming Christ's name simultaneously is utterly disgusting to God.
Francis Chan
Even in my own church I heard the words, 'Francis Chan' more than I heard the words, 'Holy Spirit.'
Francis Chan
...I don't have to worry about not meeting His expectations. God will ensure my success in accordance with His plan, not mine.
Francis Chan
Lukewarm people give money to charity and to the church....as long as it doesn't impinge on their standard of living. If they have a little extra and it is easy and safe to give, they do so. After all, God loves a cheerful giver, right?
Francis Chan
Life is about Jesus. We are not here to tell our story, but His.
Francis Chan
James 2:19- 'You believe there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that- and shudder.' God doesn't just want us to have good theology He wants us to know and love Him.
Francis Chan
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
We have control over our prayer life, our relationship with Jesus.
Francis Chan
Our God listens to us. Our God is a living God. He's not a block of wood you made up that's not going to answer you. My God listens to me. He answers me.
Francis Chan
He has more of a right to ask us why so many people are starving [than we do to ask Him]. As much as we want God to explain himself to us, His creation, we are in no place to demand that He give an account to us.
Francis Chan
God my Creator said, 'Go and make disciples.' So I don't want to sit and make excuses.
Francis Chan
I want to help people understand how to study the Scriptures with other people, to give them an overview of Scripture and assume that by understanding the Scriptures better, the Holy Spirit will bring to mind the right stories, the right teachings.
Francis Chan
I've never felt a need to really respond to someone else's writing.
Francis Chan
...if God is truly the greatest good on this earth, would He be loving us if He didn't draw us toward what is best for us (even if that happens to be Himself)?
Francis Chan
