Without action and fruit, all the theology in the world has little meaning.
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).
Francis Chan
Image
Life is about Jesus. We are not here to tell our story, but His.
Francis Chan
Image
With my natural communication abilities, I could probably gather a crowd even without the Spirit.
Francis Chan
Image
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.
Francis Chan
Image
There's no sense in improving your marriage until you are secure with God.
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)?
