More quotes by Francis Chan
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
True faith means holding nothing back. It means putting every hope in God's fidelity to His Promises.
Francis Chan
He does not have to know us so well, but He chooses to.
Francis Chan
I want to train my kids so where they are the only believers they can stand on their own two feet and teach others.
Francis Chan
Lukewarm people think about life on earth much more often than eternity in heaven.
Francis Chan
I could fill my whole time doing interviews, speaking to crowds, and there's this natural human tendency because of our culture to think that the more people I talk to, the bigger the impact I'll have, and yet Jesus didn't spend His time just speaking to the masses. He spent the bulk of his time with a small group of people.
Francis Chan
Just as you did not come to Christ on your own, neither will you remain in Christ on your own.
Francis Chan
The greatest good on this earth is God
Francis Chan
Churches we build only by our own efforts and not in the strength of the Spirit will quickly collapse when we don't push and prod people along.
Francis Chan
Stress says that the things we are involved in are important enough to merit our impatience, our lack of grace toward others, or our tight grip of control.
Francis Chan
A person who is obsessed thinks about heaven frequently. Obsessed people orient their lives around eternity they are not fixed only on what is here in front of them.
Francis Chan
Life is about Jesus. We are not here to tell our story, but His.
Francis Chan
If life is a river, then pursuing Christ requires swimming upstream. When we stop swimming, or actively following Him, we automatically begin to be swept downstream.
Francis Chan
We live in a world where people say that you can believe anything you want about God.
Francis Chan
He measures our lives by how we love.
Francis Chan
Lukewarm living and claiming Christ's name simultaneously is utterly disgusting to God.
Francis Chan
God is so clear in spelling out His attributes in scripture in order that others would know what He is really like.
Francis Chan
When it's hard and you are doubtful, give more.
Francis Chan
God is the only being who is good, and the standards are set by Him. Because God hates sin, He has to punish those guilty of sin. Maybe that's not an appealing standard. But to put it bluntly, when you get your own universe, you can make your own standards.
Francis Chan
Why would we need to experience the Comforter if our lives are already comfortable?
