Why would we need to experience the Comforter if our lives are already comfortable?
Francis Chan

Again, our marriage problems are not really marriage problems. They are heart problems. They are God problems. Our lack of intimacy with God causes a void that we try to fill with the frailest of substitutes. Like wealth or pleasure. Like fame or respect. Like people. Like marriage.

A person who is obsessed with Jesus is more concerned with his or her character than comfort. Obsessed people know that true joy doesn't depend on circumstances or environment it is a gift that must be chosen and cultivated, a gift that ultimately comes from God (James 1:2-4).

People who are obsessed with God are known as givers, not takers. Obsessed people genuinely think that others matter as much as they do, and they are particularly aware of those who are poor around the world (James 2:14-26).

Even in my own church I heard the words, 'Francis Chan' more than I heard the words, 'Holy Spirit.'
Francis Chan
Image
I don't want my life to be explainable without the Holy Spirit. I want people to look at my life and know I couldn't be doing this by my own power. I want to live in such a way that I am desperate for Him to come through. That if He doesn't come through, I am screwed.

God's definition of what matters is pretty straightforward. He measures our lives by how we love.
Francis Chan
Image
I don't want to lose the awe we get to help another human being.

It hit me that the students were talking about me, not God. I was standing before a holy God and robbing Him of the glory that was rightfully His.

Parents are supposed to instruct their kids. It doesn't mean they necessarily have that gift of teaching.
Francis Chan

The point of your life is to point to Him...it is His movie, His world, His gift.
