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.

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.
Francis Chan
Image
Are we in love with God or just His stuff?
Francis Chan
Image
The point of your life is to point to Him...it is His movie, His world, His gift.
Francis Chan
Image
Trust whatever He has for you. It will be better than anything you can plan for yourself.

My only prayer for my time with you is, God I just want these men and women to long for you.

True faith means holding nothing back it bets everything on the hope of eternity
Francis Chan
Image
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.

Do you know that nothing you do in this life will ever matter, unless it is about loving God and loving the people he has made?

Jesus' call to commitment is clear: He wants all or nothing.
Francis Chan
Image
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.

...you will have a choice: to adjust how you live daily or to stay the same.
Francis Chan
Image
A key to everything is surrender - to really come before the Lord and say, 'I will literally stay here as long as you want me to stay' or 'God, I will really go anywhere on the earth.'
Francis Chan
Image
Life is about Jesus. We are not here to tell our story, but His.
Francis Chan
Image
We often think of prayer as a means to an end. Prayer is the goal.
Francis Chan
Image
...I don't have to worry about not meeting His expectations. God will ensure my success in accordance with His plan, not mine.
Francis Chan
Image
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.
Francis Chan
Image
We never grow closer to God when we just live life. It takes deliberate pursuit and attentiveness.
Francis Chan
Image
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'.

When the church really takes on the humble characteristics of Christ, that's going to lead to revival.
