The point of your life is to point to Him...it is His movie, His world, His gift.
Francis Chan

Can you worship a God who isn't obligated to explain His actions to you? Could it be your arrogance that makes you think God owes you an explanation?

It is not scientific doubt, not atheism, not pantheism, not agnosticism, that in our day and in this land is likely to quench the light of the gospel. It is a proud, sensuous, selfish, luxurious, church-going, hollow-hearted prosperity.

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.

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'.

What are you doing right now that requires faith?

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
Image
...if God is truly the greatest good on this earth, would He be loving us if He didn't draw us toward what is best for us (even if that happens to be Himself)?
Francis Chan
Image
Due to our consumer mindset, people are prone to jump from church to church, which weakens the church overall.
Francis Chan

It's a pretty crazy task to try to describe God quickly. Everything starts with a healthy fear of Him.

Refusing to teach a passage of Scripture is just as wrong as abusing it
Francis Chan
Image
Heavenly Father, thank You so much for Your grace. Your forgiveness is SO good that I struggle with believing it at times. Thank You for rescuing me from myself and giving me Your Holy Spirit. Your love is better than life.

A key to everything is surrender - to really come before the Lord and say, 'I will literally stay here as long as you want me to stay' or 'God, I will really go anywhere on the earth.'

Churches we build only by our own efforts and not in the strength of the Spirit will quickly collapse when we don't push and prod people along.

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

I want to train my kids so where they are the only believers they can stand on their own two feet and teach others.
