More quotes by Francis Chan
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.
Francis Chan
A disciple is a disciple maker.

In China I told pastors about how, in the West, we have these church buildings and how we go to services each week that last an hour or so. I told them how if we don't like the music or the message then we can go to different buildings and services... They all broke out into laughter. They thought I was the funniest guy they had ever seen.
Francis Chan
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.
Francis Chan
If I have a script, I tend to stick to it even if God may be leading me elsewhere in the moment.

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?

We have to believe it enough that it changes how we live.

Can I go to heaven without truly and faithfully loving Jesus?”
Francis Chan
I want to train my kids so where they are the only believers they can stand on their own two feet and teach others.
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
Multi-tasking is keeping me from whole-hearted worship.
Francis Chan
Joy is something that we have to choose and then work for.
Francis Chan
Jesus asks for everything, but we try to give Him less.
Francis Chan
I don't want my life to be explainable without the Holy Spirit.
Francis Chan
The greatest good on this earth is God
Francis Chan
I've never felt a need to really respond to someone else's writing.
Francis Chan
Luke warm people are continually concerned with playing it safe they are slaves to the god of control. This focus on safe living keeps them from sacrificing and risking for God.
Francis Chan
Every year in my life, I trust fewer and fewer people.
Francis Chan
The irony is that while God doesn't need us but still wants us, we desperately need God but don't really want Him most of the time. He treasures us and anticipates our departure from this earth to be with Him-and we wonder, indifferently, how much we have to do for Him to get by.
Francis Chan
Lukewarm people do not live by faith their lives are structured so that they don't have to.
