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.

When I don't think biblically, I go nuts. I just go, 'This is crazy.'
Francis Chan
Image
Following Christ isn't something that can be done halfheartedly or on the side. It is not a label we can display when it is useful. It must be central to everything we do and are.

A person who is obsessed with Jesus knows that the best thing he can do is be faithful to his Savior in every aspect of his life, continually saying Thank You! to God. An obsessed person knows there can never be intimacy if he is always trying to pay God back or work hard enough to be worthy. He revels in his role as a child and friend of God.

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.
Francis Chan

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.

A disciple is a disciple maker.

In the midst of our failed attempts at loving Jesus, His grace covers us.

It's a pretty crazy task to try to describe God quickly. Everything starts with a healthy fear of Him.
Francis Chan

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

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.
