He does not have to know us so well, but He chooses to.

Worry implies that we don't quite trust God is big enough, powerful enough, or loving enough to take care of what's happening in our lives.
Francis Chan
Image
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?
Francis Chan
Image
Don’t believe something just because you want to, and don’t embrace an idea just because you’ve always believed it. Believe what is biblical. Test all your assumptions against the precious words God gave us in the Bible.

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.

I’ve got this amazing relationship with God that is better than life, itself, so marvelous, so wonderful that everything else can fall apart and I’m okay.

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

God has given you this good stuff so that you can show the world a person who enjoys blessings, but who is still totally obsessed with God.
Francis Chan
Image
If you want to see the big stuff that God has, you've got to take some risk and trust only in the Gospel.

Image
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
Image
God's definition of what matters is pretty straightforward. He measures our lives by how we love.
Francis Chan
Image
As a culture, were so worried about whats going to happen to us 30 years from now that we are not taking care of our brothers and sisters who need help today.
Francis Chan
Image
Solomon warned us not to rush into God’s presence with words. That’s what fools do. And often, that’s what we do.
Francis Chan
Image
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
Image
When it's hard and you are doubtful, give more.
Francis Chan
Image
The Bible says that when we obey God’s commands, we benefit. I think we naturally assume that if we look out for our own interests and concerns, we will be happy. But people who sacrifice for others will tell you that seasons of giving are the most rewarding of their lives.

Trust whatever He has for you. It will be better than anything you can plan for yourself.
