Can I go to heaven without truly and faithfully loving Jesus?”
Francis Chan
Image
Lukewarm people will serve God and others, but there are limits to how far they will go or how much time, money, and energy they are willing to give.
Francis Chan
Image
Frankly, you need to get over yourself. It might sound harsh, but that's seriously what it means [1 Corinthians 10:31].
Francis Chan
Image
Giving that is not motivated by love is worth nothing.
Francis Chan
Image
When it's hard and you are doubtful, give more.

God is calling you to a passionate love relationship with Himself. The answer to religious complacency isn't working harder at a list of do's and don'ts-it's falling in love with God.
