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

Francis Chan
Image
It's pride, plain and simple, that keeps me from giving God all the glory and keeping some of it for myself. It is a battle we all fight in some form or another, some of us daily or even hourly.
Francis Chan
Image
I confess to you guys, I confess to the church, I know I have backed away from certain things because of my arrogance. I thought I could attract more people to Jesus by hiding certain things about him.

Image
Without action and fruit, all the theology in the world has little meaning.
Francis Chan
Image
God wants to change us so much that it intrigues others.
Francis Chan
Image
In the midst of our failed attempts at loving Jesus, His grace covers us.
Francis Chan
Image
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.

...our concern is more about going to heaven than loving the King.
