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.

More quotes by Francis Chan
Again, our marriage problems are not really marriage problems. They are heart problems. They are God problems. Our lack of intimacy with God causes a void that we try to fill with the frailest of substitutes. Like wealth or pleasure. Like fame or respect. Like people. Like marriage.
Francis Chan
You find that the things you let go of while following Jesus were the things that were going to destroy you in the end.
Francis Chan
A key to everything is surrender - to really come before the Lord and say, 'I will literally stay here as long as you want me to stay' or 'God, I will really go anywhere on the earth.'
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
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.
Francis Chan
We need to stop giving people excuses not to believe in God.
Francis Chan
Jesus asks for everything, but we try to give Him less.
Francis Chan
Obsessed people are more concerned with obeying God than doing what is expected or fulfilling the status quo. A person who is obsessed with Jesus will do things that don't always make sense in terms of success or wealth on this earth.
Francis Chan
The greatest good on this earth is God
Francis Chan
Are we in love with God or just His stuff?
Francis Chan
Marriage is one of the most humbling, sanctifying journeys you will ever be a part of. It forces us to wrestle with our selfishness and pride. But it also gives us a platform to display love and commitment.
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
We never grow closer to God when we just live life. It takes deliberate pursuit and attentiveness.
Francis Chan
God doesn’t call us to be comfortable. He calls us to trust Him.
Francis Chan
It's a pretty crazy task to try to describe God quickly. Everything starts with a healthy fear of Him.
Francis Chan
The best things in life are gifts from the One who steadfastly loves us. But an important question to ask ourselves is this: are we in love with God or just His stuff?
Francis Chan
But God doesn't call us to be comfortable. He calls us to trust Him so completely that we are unafraid to put ourselves in situations where we will be in trouble if He doesn't come through.
Francis Chan
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.
Francis Chan
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.
Francis Chan
Isn't it a comfort to worship a God we cannot exaggerate?
Francis Chan
