More quotes by Francis Chan
I've never felt a need to really respond to someone else's writing.
Francis Chan
Frankly, you need to get over yourself. It might sound harsh, but that's seriously what it means [1 Corinthians 10:31].
Francis Chan
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.
Francis Chan
He wants all or nothing. The thought of a person calling himself a 'Christian' without being a devoted follower of Christ is absurd.
Francis Chan
We need to stop giving people excuses not to believe in God.
Francis Chan
Stress says that the things we are involved in are important enough to merit our impatience, our lack of grace toward others, or our tight grip of control.
Francis Chan
It's pride, plain and simple, that keeps me from giving God all the glory and keeping some of it for myself. It is a battle we all fight in some form or another, some of us daily or even hourly.
Francis Chan
People who are obsessed with God have an intimate relationship with Him. They are nourished by God's Word throughout the day because they know that forty minutes on Sunday is not enough to sustain them for a whole week, especially when they will encounter so many distractions and alternative messages.
Francis Chan
Sometimes we shrink from leadership because our pride makes us afraid of failure. That's not humility.
Francis Chan
The wise man comes to God without saying a word and stands in awe of Him.
Francis Chan
God is so clear in spelling out His attributes in scripture in order that others would know what He is really like.
Francis Chan
We have to believe it enough that it changes how we live.
Francis Chan
He does not have to know us so well, but He chooses to.
Francis Chan
It's a pretty crazy task to try to describe God quickly. Everything starts with a healthy fear of Him.
Francis Chan
With my natural communication abilities, I could probably gather a crowd even without the Spirit.
Francis Chan
We live in a world where people say that you can believe anything you want about God.
Francis Chan
Christians are like manure: spread them out and they help everything grow better, but keep them in one big pile and they stink horribly.
Francis Chan
I want to train my kids so where they are the only believers they can stand on their own two feet and teach others.
Francis Chan
There's no sense in improving your marriage until you are secure with God.
Francis Chan
Isn't it a comfort to worship a God we cannot exaggerate?
