We are loaded down with too many good things, more than we could ever need, while others are desperate for a small loaf. The good things we cling to are more than money we hoard our resources, our gifts, our time, our families, out friends....how ludicrous it is to hold on to the abundance God has given us and merely repeat the words 'thank you'.

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.

Parents are supposed to instruct their kids. It doesn't mean they necessarily have that gift of teaching.

The wise man comes to God without saying a word and stands in awe of Him.

Solomon warned us not to rush into God’s presence with words. That’s what fools do. And often, that’s what we do.

I've never felt a need to really respond to someone else's writing.

Our lives should be more than just focusing on our marriage but on focusing our marriage toward what God's mission is for us as a couple.
Francis Chan
Image
Our greatest fear should not be of failure but of succeeding at things in life that don't really matter.
Francis Chan
Image
People who are obsessed with God have an intimate relationship with Him. They are nourished by God's Word throughout the day because they know that forty minutes on Sunday is not enough to sustain them for a whole week, especially when they will encounter so many distractions and alternative messages.

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?
