There are periods that we forget that in the pursuit of fruit, that if we just abide in Him, then fruitfulness is a guarantee.
Francis Chan

We are loaded down with too many good things, more than we could ever need, while others are desperate for a small loaf. The good things we cling to are more than money we hoard our resources, our gifts, our time, our families, out friends....how ludicrous it is to hold on to the abundance God has given us and merely repeat the words 'thank you'.

Worry implies that we don't quite trust God is big enough, powerful enough, or loving enough to take care of what's happening in our lives.

I want to see people do more than simply raise their hand when they come to Christ. Where are the totally changed lives?

Has your relationship with God changed the way you live your life?

Refusing to teach a passage of Scripture is just as wrong as abusing it

A person who is obsessed thinks about heaven frequently. Obsessed people orient their lives around eternity they are not fixed only on what is here in front of them.

I could fill my whole time doing interviews, speaking to crowds, and there's this natural human tendency because of our culture to think that the more people I talk to, the bigger the impact I'll have, and yet Jesus didn't spend His time just speaking to the masses. He spent the bulk of his time with a small group of people.

When loving Him becomes obligation, one of the many things we have to do, we end up focusing even more on ourselves.

We often think of prayer as a means to an end. Prayer is the goal.

Oswald Chambers writes, ‘Never make a principle out of your experience let God be as original with other people as He is with you.’ To that I would add, ‘Be careful not to turn others’ lives into the mold for your own.’ Allow God to be as creative with you as He is with each of us.

Our greatest fear should not be of failure but of succeeding at things in life that don't really matter.

James 2:19- 'You believe there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that- and shudder.' God doesn't just want us to have good theology He wants us to know and love Him.

When it's hard and you are doubtful, give more.

The message of the Bible is not about God in Heaven who wants to take from you. It's about God who wants to give to you.

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.

He wants all or nothing. The thought of a person calling himself a 'Christian' without being a devoted follower of Christ is absurd.

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).
Francis Chan

Obsessed people are more concerned with obeying God than doing what is expected or fulfilling the status quo. A person who is obsessed with Jesus will do things that don't always make sense in terms of success or wealth on this earth.
