God wants to change us so much that it intrigues others.
Francis Chan

In China I told pastors about how, in the West, we have these church buildings and how we go to services each week that last an hour or so. I told them how if we don't like the music or the message then we can go to different buildings and services... They all broke out into laughter. They thought I was the funniest guy they had ever seen.

God doesn’t call us to be comfortable. He calls us to trust Him.

A person who is obsessed with Jesus knows that the best thing he can do is be faithful to his Savior in every aspect of his life, continually saying Thank You! to God. An obsessed person knows there can never be intimacy if he is always trying to pay God back or work hard enough to be worthy. He revels in his role as a child and friend of God.

We never grow closer to God when we just live life. It takes deliberate pursuit and attentiveness.
Francis Chan
Image
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
Image
We are here to love. Not much else matters.
Francis Chan
Image
Why would we need to experience the Comforter if our lives are already comfortable?
Francis Chan
Image
Are we in love with God or just His stuff?
Francis Chan

The wise man comes to God without saying a word and stands in awe of Him.
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.
Francis Chan
Image
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
Image
He does not have to know us so well, but He chooses to.
Francis Chan
Image
He measures our lives by how we love.
