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.
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.
Francis Chan
Image
I want to help people understand how to study the Scriptures with other people, to give them an overview of Scripture and assume that by understanding the Scriptures better, the Holy Spirit will bring to mind the right stories, the right teachings.
Francis Chan
Image
God is so clear in spelling out His attributes in scripture in order that others would know what He is really like.
Francis Chan
Image
I want to live so that I am truly submitted to the Spirit's leading on a daily basis. Christ said its better for us that the Spirit came and I want to live like that is true. I don't want to keep crawling when I have the ability to fly.

People who are obsessed with Jesus live lives that connect them with the poor in some way or another. Obsessed people believe that Jesus talked about money and the poor so often because it was really important to Him.

When you read the New Testament, you see the Holy Spirit was supposed to change everything so that this gathering of people who call themselves Christians had this supernatural element about them.

When the church really takes on the humble characteristics of Christ, that's going to lead to revival.
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.
Francis Chan
Image
When loving Him becomes obligation, one of the many things we have to do, we end up focusing even more on ourselves.
Francis Chan
Image
He wants all or nothing. The thought of a person calling himself a 'Christian' without being a devoted follower of Christ is absurd.
Francis Chan
Image
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.
Francis Chan
Image
If I have a script, I tend to stick to it even if God may be leading me elsewhere in the moment.
Francis Chan
Image
God's definition of what matters is pretty straightforward. He measures our lives by how we love.
Francis Chan
Image
God is calling you to a passionate love relationship with Himself. The answer to religious complacency isn't working harder at a list of do's and don'ts-it's falling in love with God.

Image
If you really want to experience God, go and make disciples.
Francis Chan
Image
We have to believe it enough that it changes how we live.
Francis Chan
Image
My pride and immaturity caused me to make things more of a struggle than they had to be. I can always blame others or circumstances, but the truth was that my own sinful pride led to more stress than anything else.

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.
