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.

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.

I had come out of a church that was filled with petty arguments and hatred. I just wanted to meet with some friends and worship with them.

Even in my own church I heard the words, 'Francis Chan' more than I heard the words, 'Holy Spirit.'

Our lives should be more than just focusing on our marriage but on focusing our marriage toward what God's mission is for us as a couple.

If you really want to experience God, go and make disciples.

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).

Just as you did not come to Christ on your own, neither will you remain in Christ on your own.

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.

When the church really takes on the humble characteristics of Christ, that's going to lead to revival.
Francis Chan
Image
Not being able to understand God is frustrating, but it is ridiculous for us to think we have the right to limit God to something we are capable to comprehending.

When it's hard and you are doubtful, give more.

Can you worship a God who isn't obligated to explain His actions to you? Could it be your arrogance that makes you think God owes you an explanation?

God never breaks His promises.

Don’t believe something just because you want to, and don’t embrace an idea just because you’ve always believed it. Believe what is biblical. Test all your assumptions against the precious words God gave us in the Bible.
Francis Chan

The disciples obey because that's what people do when someone rises from the dead and gives instructions.
Francis Chan
Image
My biggest concern for this generation is your inability to focus, especially in prayer.

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.

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.

Solomon warned us not to rush into God’s presence with words. That’s what fools do. And often, that’s what we do.
