Jesus didn't say that if you wanted to follow Him you could do it in a lukewarm manner. He said, 'Take up your cross and follow Me.'

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

When we become overly concerned about our appearance, our spiritual reputation, our coolness, and our acceptance, we are living as citizens of this world rather than as ambassadors.

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?

When I don't think biblically, I go nuts. I just go, 'This is crazy.'

Grace is when you should be totally punished but are blessed for no reason.

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.

The world needs Christians who don't tolerate the complacency of their own lives.

My only prayer for my time with you is, God I just want these men and women to long for you.
