When we work for Christ out of obligation, it feels like work. But when we truly love Christ, our work is a manifestation of that love, and it feels like love.

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.

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

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.

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

A person who is obsessed is characterized by committed, settled, passionate love for God, above and before every other thing and every other being.

Without action and fruit, all the theology in the world has little meaning.
Francis Chan

In the craziness of our world, it takes tremendous effort to find a quiet place. It takes time to quiet your mind and your heart before the Lord.

Don't fall into the trap of studying the Bible without doing what it says.
Francis Chan
Image
Where it gets weird is that nowadays there are millions of people on this earth who call themselves followers of Jesus, but their lives look nothing like His, and they're not obeying the things that He called them to do.
Francis Chan
Image
When it's hard and you are doubtful, give more.

God doesn’t call us to be comfortable. He calls us to trust Him.
Francis Chan
Image
We have become dangerously comfortable- believers ooze with wealth and let their addictions to comfort and security numb the radical urgency of the gospel.
Francis Chan
Image
The wise man comes to God without saying a word and stands in awe of Him.
Francis Chan
Image
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.

Even in my own church I heard the words, 'Francis Chan' more than I heard the words, 'Holy Spirit.'
Francis Chan
Image
Churches we build only by our own efforts and not in the strength of the Spirit will quickly collapse when we don't push and prod people along.
Francis Chan
Image
The Bible says that when we obey God’s commands, we benefit. I think we naturally assume that if we look out for our own interests and concerns, we will be happy. But people who sacrifice for others will tell you that seasons of giving are the most rewarding of their lives.
