I want to see people do more than simply raise their hand when they come to Christ. Where are the totally changed lives?
Francis Chan
Image
Multi-tasking is keeping me from whole-hearted worship.
Francis Chan

I really believe it's time for some of us to stop apologizing for God and start apologizing to Him for being embarrassed by the ways He has chosen to reveal Himself
Francis Chan

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

Our lives should be more than just focusing on our marriage but on focusing our marriage toward what God's mission is for us as a couple.

In China I told pastors about how, in the West, we have these church buildings and how we go to services each week that last an hour or so. I told them how if we don't like the music or the message then we can go to different buildings and services... They all broke out into laughter. They thought I was the funniest guy they had ever seen.

The world needs Christians who don't tolerate the complacency of their own lives.
Francis Chan
Image
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
Image
I don't want my life to be explainable without the Holy Spirit. I want people to look at my life and know I couldn't be doing this by my own power. I want to live in such a way that I am desperate for Him to come through. That if He doesn't come through, I am screwed.

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
Image
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.

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.

Lukewarm people call 'radical' what Jesus expected of all His followers.
