The idea of holding back certainly didn't come from Scripture.
Francis Chan
Image
People who are obsessed with Jesus aren't consumed with their personal safety and comfort above all else. Obsessed people care more about God's kingdom coming to this earth than their own lives being shielded from pain or distress.

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
Image
People accuse me of going overboard preparing for my first ten million years in eternity in my opinion, people go overboard in worrying about their last ten on earth.
Francis Chan
Image
Why would we need to experience the Comforter if our lives are already comfortable?
Francis Chan
Image
Tend to choose what is popular over what is right when they are in conflict. They desire to fit in both at church and outside of church they care more about what people think of their actions (like church attendance and giving) than what God thinks of their hearts and lives.
Francis Chan
Image
God is the only being who is good, and the standards are set by Him. Because God hates sin, He has to punish those guilty of sin. Maybe that's not an appealing standard. But to put it bluntly, when you get your own universe, you can make your own standards.

Image
You find that the things you let go of while following Jesus were the things that were going to destroy you in the end.
Francis Chan
Image
He measures our lives by how we love.
Francis Chan
