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.

Our God listens to us. Our God is a living God. He's not a block of wood you made up that's not going to answer you. My God listens to me. He answers me.
Francis Chan
Image
...there is still a need for those of us nestled deep within the Christian bubble to look beyond the status quo and critically assess the degree to which we are really living biblically.

The message of the Bible is not about God in Heaven who wants to take from you. It's about God who wants to give to you.

Don't fall into the trap of studying the Bible without doing what it says.

Solomon warned us not to rush into God’s presence with words. That’s what fools do. And often, that’s what we do.

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.

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.

I had come out of a church that was filled with petty arguments and hatred. I just wanted to meet with some friends and worship with them.

People who are obsessed with Jesus do not consider service a burden. Obsessed people take joy in loving God by loving His people (Mt 13:44)(Jn 15:8).
Francis Chan
Image
Yes, it is God who works in you. And, yes, there is work for you to do. Yes, the Spirit empowers you to do the work. And, yes, you do the work.
Francis Chan
Image
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.

Our greatest fear should not be of failure but of succeeding at things in life that don't really matter.
Francis Chan
Image
My pride and immaturity caused me to make things more of a struggle than they had to be. I can always blame others or circumstances, but the truth was that my own sinful pride led to more stress than anything else.
Francis Chan
Image
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.

My love for prayer was an answer to prayer.

The wise man comes to God without saying a word and stands in awe of Him.
Francis Chan
Image
Do you know that nothing you do in this life will ever matter, unless it is about loving God and loving the people he has made?
Francis Chan
Image
The point of your life is to point to Him. Whatever you are doing, God wants to be glorified, because this whole thing is His.

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'.
