The world says love yourself, grab all you can, follow your heart. Jesus says deny yourself, grab your cross and follow me.
Francis Chan
Image
The church becomes irrelevant when it becomes purely a human creation. We are not all we were made to be when everything in our lives and churches can be explained apart from the work and presence of the Spirit of God.
Francis Chan
Image
Jesus asks for everything, but we try to give Him less.
Francis Chan
Image
In the midst of our failed attempts at loving Jesus, His grace covers us.
Francis Chan
Image
When you read the New Testament, you see the Holy Spirit was supposed to change everything so that this gathering of people who call themselves Christians had this supernatural element about them.

My love for prayer was an answer to prayer.
Francis Chan
Image
Yes, it is God who works in you. And, yes, there is work for you to do. Yes, the Spirit empowers you to do the work. And, yes, you do the work.

...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.

When it's hard and you are doubtful, give more.

God is so clear in spelling out His attributes in scripture in order that others would know what He is really like.

Sometimes we shrink from leadership because our pride makes us afraid of failure. That's not humility.
Francis Chan

A person who is obsessed with Jesus is more concerned with his or her character than comfort. Obsessed people know that true joy doesn't depend on circumstances or environment it is a gift that must be chosen and cultivated, a gift that ultimately comes from God (James 1:2-4).

If I have a script, I tend to stick to it even if God may be leading me elsewhere in the moment.
Francis Chan
Image
...no worship is better than apathetic worship.
Francis Chan
Image
People who are obsessed with God are known as givers, not takers. Obsessed people genuinely think that others matter as much as they do, and they are particularly aware of those who are poor around the world (James 2:14-26).
Francis Chan
Image
We are loaded down with too many good things, more than we could ever need, while others are desperate for a small loaf. The good things we cling to are more than money we hoard our resources, our gifts, our time, our families, out friends....how ludicrous it is to hold on to the abundance God has given us and merely repeat the words 'thank you'.
Francis Chan
Image
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
Image
Because I want to get a lot done, I can sometimes do that in the flesh. If I don't rest in the Lord, and enjoy him as I should, my action doesn't spring from my identity and enjoyment of Christ. When that happens, I end up getting the glory rather than Jesus.

If you want to see the big stuff that God has, you've got to take some risk and trust only in the Gospel.

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.
