When loving Him becomes obligation, one of the many things we have to do, we end up focusing even more on ourselves.

Refusing to teach a passage of Scripture is just as wrong as abusing it
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
Image
God is the only being who is good, and the standards are set by Him. Because God hates sin, He has to punish those guilty of sin. Maybe that's not an appealing standard. But to put it bluntly, when you get your own universe, you can make your own standards.

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

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. He treasures us and anticipates our departure from this earth to be with Him-and we wonder, indifferently, how much we have to do for Him to get by.

Image
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.

Parents are supposed to instruct their kids. It doesn't mean they necessarily have that gift of teaching.
Francis Chan
Image
I've grown up in a generation that questions God for setting boundaries. Does He have the right to set boundaries? I've grown up in a generation that thinks where meeting with a God is an ordinary thing.

The greatest knowledge we can ever have is knowing God treasures us.
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.

We have got to make disciples. Fun nights and pizza nights are not going to sustain us.

The idea of holding back certainly didn't come from Scripture.

We never grow closer to God when we just live life. It takes deliberate pursuit and attentiveness.
