God never breaks His promises.
Francis Chan
With my natural communication abilities, I could probably gather a crowd even without the Spirit.

Francis Chan
We have to believe it enough that it changes how we live.

Francis Chan
Lukewarm living and claiming Christ's name simultaneously is utterly disgusting to God.
Francis Chan
Parents are supposed to instruct their kids. It doesn't mean they necessarily have that gift of teaching.
Francis Chan
We should be so joyful from God's grace that others would respond by saying, 'I wish I had your God.
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
There are periods that we forget that in the pursuit of fruit, that if we just abide in Him, then fruitfulness is a guarantee.
Francis Chan
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.
Francis Chan
