...if God is truly the greatest good on this earth, would He be loving us if He didn't draw us toward what is best for us (even if that happens to be Himself)?
Francis Chan

People accuse me of going overboard preparing for my first ten million years in eternity in my opinion, people go overboard in worrying about their last ten on earth.

Even in my own church I heard the words, 'Francis Chan' more than I heard the words, 'Holy Spirit.'

People who are obsessed with Jesus aren't consumed with their personal safety and comfort above all else. Obsessed people care more about God's kingdom coming to this earth than their own lives being shielded from pain or distress.
