More quotes by Francis Chan
We have control over our prayer life, our relationship with Jesus.
Francis Chan
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
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.'
Francis Chan

Francis Chan
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.

Francis Chan
God wants to change us so much that it intrigues others.
Francis Chan
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
But God doesn't call us to be comfortable. He calls us to trust Him so completely that we are unafraid to put ourselves in situations where we will be in trouble if He doesn't come through.
Francis Chan
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.
Francis Chan
Our God listens to us. Our God is a living God. He's not a block of wood you made up that's not going to answer you. My God listens to me. He answers me.
Francis Chan
When it's hard and you are doubtful, give more.
Francis Chan
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
Luke warm people are continually concerned with playing it safe they are slaves to the god of control. This focus on safe living keeps them from sacrificing and risking for God.
