We often think of prayer as a means to an end. Prayer is the goal.
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.

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.

God never breaks His promises.

The point of your life is to point to Him...it is His movie, His world, His gift.

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?

Image
...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.

Image
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.

Multi-tasking is keeping me from whole-hearted worship.
Francis Chan
Image
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.

I've grown up in a generation that questions God for setting boundaries. Does He have the right to set boundaries? I've grown up in a generation that thinks where meeting with a God is an ordinary thing.

Your problems are not just your problems. Ultimately, they belong to the church body that God has placed you in.
Francis Chan
Image
My only prayer for my time with you is, God I just want these men and women to long for you.

Image
When I don't think biblically, I go nuts. I just go, 'This is crazy.'
Francis Chan
Image
Lukewarm living and claiming Christ's name simultaneously is utterly disgusting to God.
Francis Chan
Image
God is so clear in spelling out His attributes in scripture in order that others would know what He is really like.
Francis Chan
Image
The wise man comes to God without saying a word and stands in awe of Him.

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.
