Quote

I was raised Christian after age 5, but I didn't really understand it until high school. A friend of mine invited me to his youth group. There I heard the gospel, understood it, and accepted it.

Following Christ isn't something that can be done halfheartedly or on the side. It is not a label we can display when it is useful. It must be central to everything we do and are.

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.

We are each given different gifts and talents by our Master. The thing that matters most is how we use what we have been given, not how much we make or do compared to someone else. What matters is that we spend ourselves.
Francis Chan
Image
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?
Francis Chan
Image
God has given you this good stuff so that you can show the world a person who enjoys blessings, but who is still totally obsessed with God.
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.

Image
God wants to change us so much that it intrigues others.
Francis Chan
Image
We should be so joyful from God's grace that others would respond by saying, 'I wish I had your God.

I don't want to lose the awe we get to help another human being.

My biggest concern for this generation is your inability to focus, especially in prayer.
