I had come out of a church that was filled with petty arguments and hatred. I just wanted to meet with some friends and worship with them.

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.

It's not that there aren't a million other things to learn about God, but He says you've got to start with the fear of the Lord because that's the beginning of wisdom.

The church becomes irrelevant when it becomes purely a human creation. We are not all we were made to be when everything in our lives and churches can be explained apart from the work and presence of the Spirit of God.
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.

Joy is something that we have to choose and then work for.

God my Creator said, 'Go and make disciples.' So I don't want to sit and make excuses.

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.

Your problems are not just your problems. Ultimately, they belong to the church body that God has placed you in.

I want to train my kids so where they are the only believers they can stand on their own two feet and teach others.

It's a pretty crazy task to try to describe God quickly. Everything starts with a healthy fear of Him.

People who are obsessed with Jesus do not consider service a burden. Obsessed people take joy in loving God by loving His people (Mt 13:44)(Jn 15:8).
