More quotes by Francis Chan
Don’t believe something just because you want to, and don’t embrace an idea just because you’ve always believed it. Believe what is biblical. Test all your assumptions against the precious words God gave us in the Bible.
Francis Chan
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.
Francis Chan
My love for prayer was an answer to prayer.
Francis Chan
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.
Francis Chan
He measures our lives by how we love.
Francis Chan
He has more of a right to ask us why so many people are starving [than we do to ask Him]. As much as we want God to explain himself to us, His creation, we are in no place to demand that He give an account to us.
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
When we work for Christ out of obligation, it feels like work. But when we truly love Christ, our work is a manifestation of that love, and it feels like love.
Francis Chan
We have become dangerously comfortable- believers ooze with wealth and let their addictions to comfort and security numb the radical urgency of the gospel.
Francis Chan
We live in a time when Christians need to be told that they are supposed to live like Christ. That's Weird.
Francis Chan
Giving that is not motivated by love is worth nothing.
Francis Chan
Fear of God failing us leads us to cover for God. This means we ask, expect, and are satisfied with less.
Francis Chan
Many Spirit-filled authors have exhausted the thesaurus in order to describe God with the glory He deserves. His perfect holiness, by definition, assures us that our words can't contain Him. Isn't it a comfort to worship a God we cannot exaggerate?
Francis Chan
Parents are supposed to instruct their kids. It doesn't mean they necessarily have that gift of teaching.
Francis Chan
The irony is that while God doesn’t need us but still wants us, we desperately need God but don’t really want Him most of the time.
Francis Chan
Show true religion, cause words don't relieve
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
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
Jesus didn't say that if you wanted to follow Him you could do it in a lukewarm manner. He said, 'Take up your cross and follow Me.'
Francis Chan
God doesn’t call us to be comfortable. He calls us to trust Him.
