More quotes by Francis Chan
I was raised Christian after age 5, but I didn't really understand it until high school. A friend of mine invited me to his youth group. There I heard the gospel, understood it, and accepted it.
Francis Chan
You find that the things you let go of while following Jesus were the things that were going to destroy you in the end.
Francis Chan
People who are obsessed with God are known as givers, not takers. Obsessed people genuinely think that others matter as much as they do, and they are particularly aware of those who are poor around the world (James 2:14-26).
Francis Chan
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
We should be so joyful from God's grace that others would respond by saying, 'I wish I had your God.
Francis Chan
My existence was not random, nor was it an accident. God knew who He was creating, and He designed met for a specific work. [Ephesians 2:10]
Francis Chan
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
Luke warm people are continually concerned with playing it safe they are slaves to the god of control. This focus on safe living keeps them from sacrificing and risking for God.
Francis Chan
Again, our marriage problems are not really marriage problems. They are heart problems. They are God problems. Our lack of intimacy with God causes a void that we try to fill with the frailest of substitutes. Like wealth or pleasure. Like fame or respect. Like people. Like marriage.
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
Heavenly Father, thank You so much for Your grace. Your forgiveness is SO good that I struggle with believing it at times. Thank You for rescuing me from myself and giving me Your Holy Spirit. Your love is better than life.
Francis Chan
Oswald Chambers writes, ‘Never make a principle out of your experience let God be as original with other people as He is with you.’ To that I would add, ‘Be careful not to turn others’ lives into the mold for your own.’ Allow God to be as creative with you as He is with each of us.
Francis Chan
Without action and fruit, all the theology in the world has little meaning.
Francis Chan
...you will have a choice: to adjust how you live daily or to stay the same.
Francis Chan
Grace is when you should be totally punished but are blessed for no reason.
Francis Chan
...I don't think my church's teachings were incorrect, just incomplete.
Francis Chan
But God doesn't call us to be comfortable. He calls us to trust Him so completely that we are unafraid to put ourselves in situations where we will be in trouble if He doesn't come through.
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
I've grown up in a generation that questions God for setting boundaries. Does He have the right to set boundaries? I've grown up in a generation that thinks where meeting with a God is an ordinary thing.
Francis Chan
Isn't it a comfort to worship a God we cannot exaggerate?
Francis Chan
