More quotes by Francis Chan
Don't fall into the trap of studying the Bible without doing what it says.
Francis Chan
Lukewarm people do not live by faith their lives are structured so that they don't have to.
Francis Chan
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).
Francis Chan
Grace is when you should be totally punished but are blessed for no reason.
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
Christians are like manure: spread them out and they help everything grow better, but keep them in one big pile and they stink horribly.
Francis Chan
Lukewarm people think about life on earth much more often than eternity in heaven.
Francis Chan
We often think of prayer as a means to an end. Prayer is the goal.
Francis Chan
The point is not to completely understand God but to worship Him. Let the very fact that you cannot know Him fully lead you to praise Him for His infiniteness and grandeur.
Francis Chan
...no worship is better than apathetic worship.
Francis Chan
Do you love this God who is everything, or do you just love everything He gives you?
Francis Chan
The Bible says that when we obey God’s commands, we benefit. I think we naturally assume that if we look out for our own interests and concerns, we will be happy. But people who sacrifice for others will tell you that seasons of giving are the most rewarding of their lives.
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
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
The world needs Christians who don't tolerate the complacency of their own lives.
Francis Chan
My only prayer for my time with you is, God I just want these men and women to long for you.
Francis Chan
There's no sense in improving your marriage until you are secure with God.
Francis Chan
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.
Francis Chan
The God who loans you life sees your every move, hears each word you speak, knows your every thought. You are seen by God. Noticed. Known.
Francis Chan
People who are obsessed with God have an intimate relationship with Him. They are nourished by God's Word throughout the day because they know that forty minutes on Sunday is not enough to sustain them for a whole week, especially when they will encounter so many distractions and alternative messages.
