More quotes by Francis Chan
When we work for Christ out of obligation, it feels like work. But when we truly love Christ, our work is a manifestation of that love, and it feels like love.
Francis Chan
But God doesn't call us to be comfortable. He calls us to trust Him so completely that we are unafraid to put ourselves in situations where we will be in trouble if He doesn't come through.
Francis Chan
I don't want to lose the awe we get to help another human being.
Francis Chan
The world says love yourself, grab all you can, follow your heart. Jesus says deny yourself, grab your cross and follow me.
Francis Chan
He does not have to know us so well, but He chooses to.
Francis Chan
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.
Francis Chan
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.

...no worship is better than apathetic worship.
Francis Chan
Many Spirit-filled authors have exhausted the thesaurus in order to describe God with the glory He deserves. His perfect holiness, by definition, assures us that our words can't contain Him. Isn't it a comfort to worship a God we cannot exaggerate?
Francis Chan
We have to learn how to control our minds. We have to learn self-control.
Francis Chan
As we begin to focus more on Christ, loving Him and others becomes more natural. As long as we pursuing Him, we satisfied in Him. It is when we stop actively loving Him that we find ourselves restless and gravitating toward other means of fulfillment
Francis Chan
We live in a time when Christians need to be told that they are supposed to live like Christ. That's Weird.
Francis Chan
Lukewarm people think about life on earth much more often than eternity in heaven.
Francis Chan
You find that the things you let go of while following Jesus were the things that were going to destroy you in the end.
Francis Chan
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.
Francis Chan
We never grow closer to God when we just live life. It takes deliberate pursuit and attentiveness.
Francis Chan
I don't want to keep crawling when i have the ability to fly.
Francis Chan
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.
Francis Chan
Show true religion, cause words don't relieve
Francis Chan
True faith means holding nothing back. It means putting every hope in God's fidelity to His Promises.
