Because I want to get a lot done, I can sometimes do that in the flesh. If I don't rest in the Lord, and enjoy him as I should, my action doesn't spring from my identity and enjoyment of Christ. When that happens, I end up getting the glory rather than Jesus.

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

I was raised Christian after age 5, but I didn't really understand it until high school. A friend of mine invited me to his youth group. There I heard the gospel, understood it, and accepted it.

Lukewarm living and claiming Christ's name simultaneously is utterly disgusting to God.

God wants to change us so much that it intrigues others.

Why is it that we believe God's promises of blessing but not his promises of punishment?

We should be so joyful from God's grace that others would respond by saying, 'I wish I had your God.

Lukewarm people will serve God and others, but there are limits to how far they will go or how much time, money, and energy they are willing to give.

We live in a time when Christians need to be told that they are supposed to live like Christ. That's Weird.

We have control over our prayer life, our relationship with Jesus.

The point of your life is to point to Him. Whatever you are doing, God wants to be glorified, because this whole thing is His.

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

He measures our lives by how we love.
Francis Chan
Image
The world says love yourself, grab all you can, follow your heart. Jesus says deny yourself, grab your cross and follow me.

We never grow closer to God when we just live life. It takes deliberate pursuit and attentiveness.
Francis Chan
Image
The fact is, Scripture is filled with divine actions that don't fit our human standards of logic or morality. But they don't need to, because we are the clay and He is the Potter. We need to stop trying to domesticate God or confine Him to tidy categories and compartments that reflect our human sentiments rather than His inexplicable ways.

Lukewarm people give money to charity and to the church....as long as it doesn't impinge on their standard of living. If they have a little extra and it is easy and safe to give, they do so. After all, God loves a cheerful giver, right?

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.

If life is a river, then pursuing Christ requires swimming upstream. When we stop swimming, or actively following Him, we automatically begin to be swept downstream.
