It's pride, plain and simple, that keeps me from giving God all the glory and keeping some of it for myself. It is a battle we all fight in some form or another, some of us daily or even hourly.

Lukewarm people do not live by faith their lives are structured so that they don't have to.
Francis Chan
Image
Lukewarm people will serve God and others, but there are limits to how far they will go or how much time, money, and energy they are willing to give.

A person who is obsessed with Jesus knows that the best thing he can do is be faithful to his Savior in every aspect of his life, continually saying Thank You! to God. An obsessed person knows there can never be intimacy if he is always trying to pay God back or work hard enough to be worthy. He revels in his role as a child and friend of God.

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.

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.

Image
Fear of God failing us leads us to cover for God. This means we ask, expect, and are satisfied with less.

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

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
Image
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.

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.

He does not have to know us so well, but He chooses to.

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

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