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.

More quotes by Francis Chan
When loving Him becomes obligation, one of the many things we have to do, we end up focusing even more on ourselves.
Francis Chan
Oswald Chambers writes, ‘Never make a principle out of your experience let God be as original with other people as He is with you.’ To that I would add, ‘Be careful not to turn others’ lives into the mold for your own.’ Allow God to be as creative with you as He is with each of us.
Francis Chan
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
When we become overly concerned about our appearance, our spiritual reputation, our coolness, and our acceptance, we are living as citizens of this world rather than as ambassadors.
Francis Chan
Don't fall into the trap of studying the Bible without doing what it says.
Francis Chan
Stress says that the things we are involved in are important enough to merit our impatience, our lack of grace toward others, or our tight grip of control.
Francis Chan
I don't want to keep crawling when i have the ability to fly.
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 often think of prayer as a means to an end. Prayer is the goal.
Francis Chan
He does not have to know us so well, but He chooses to.
Francis Chan
If I have a script, I tend to stick to it even if God may be leading me elsewhere in the moment.
Francis Chan
When the church really takes on the humble characteristics of Christ, that's going to lead to revival.
Francis Chan
People who are obsessed with Jesus live lives that connect them with the poor in some way or another. Obsessed people believe that Jesus talked about money and the poor so often because it was really important to Him.
Francis Chan
I want to help people understand how to study the Scriptures with other people, to give them an overview of Scripture and assume that by understanding the Scriptures better, the Holy Spirit will bring to mind the right stories, the right teachings.
Francis Chan
Obsessed people are more concerned with obeying God than doing what is expected or fulfilling the status quo. A person who is obsessed with Jesus will do things that don't always make sense in terms of success or wealth on this earth.
Francis Chan
A person who is obsessed thinks about heaven frequently. Obsessed people orient their lives around eternity they are not fixed only on what is here in front of them.
Francis Chan
Tend to choose what is popular over what is right when they are in conflict. They desire to fit in both at church and outside of church they care more about what people think of their actions (like church attendance and giving) than what God thinks of their hearts and lives.
Francis Chan
It hit me that the students were talking about me, not God. I was standing before a holy God and robbing Him of the glory that was rightfully His.
Francis Chan
A person who is obsessed with Jesus knows that the best thing he can do is be faithful to his Savior in every aspect of his life, continually saying Thank You! to God. An obsessed person knows there can never be intimacy if he is always trying to pay God back or work hard enough to be worthy. He revels in his role as a child and friend of God.
Francis Chan
Jesus didn't say that if you wanted to follow Him you could do it in a lukewarm manner. He said, 'Take up your cross and follow Me.'
Francis Chan
