It is not scientific doubt, not atheism, not pantheism, not agnosticism, that in our day and in this land is likely to quench the light of the gospel. It is a proud, sensuous, selfish, luxurious, church-going, hollow-hearted prosperity.
Francis Chan
Image
Not being able to understand God is frustrating, but it is ridiculous for us to think we have the right to limit God to something we are capable to comprehending.
Francis Chan
Image
Following Christ isn't something that can be done halfheartedly or on the side. It is not a label we can display when it is useful. It must be central to everything we do and are.
Francis Chan

When I don't think biblically, I go nuts. I just go, 'This is crazy.'

In the midst of our failed attempts at loving Jesus, His grace covers us.

If you really want to experience God, go and make disciples.
Francis Chan
Image
A key to everything is surrender - to really come before the Lord and say, 'I will literally stay here as long as you want me to stay' or 'God, I will really go anywhere on the earth.'
Francis Chan
Image
I want to see people do more than simply raise their hand when they come to Christ. Where are the totally changed lives?
Francis Chan
Image
Tend to choose what is popular over what is right when they are in conflict. They desire to fit in both at church and outside of church they care more about what people think of their actions (like church attendance and giving) than what God thinks of their hearts and lives.
Francis Chan
Image
Without action and fruit, all the theology in the world has little meaning.
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
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
Image
The fact is, Scripture is filled with divine actions that don't fit our human standards of logic or morality. But they don't need to, because we are the clay and He is the Potter. We need to stop trying to domesticate God or confine Him to tidy categories and compartments that reflect our human sentiments rather than His inexplicable ways.

We live in a world where people say that you can believe anything you want about God.
Francis Chan
Image
People accuse me of going overboard preparing for my first ten million years in eternity in my opinion, people go overboard in worrying about their last ten on earth.
Francis Chan
Image
Do you love this God who is everything, or do you just love everything He gives you?
Francis Chan
Image
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
Image
The idea of holding back certainly didn't come from Scripture.
Francis Chan
Image
God is calling you to a passionate love relationship with Himself. The answer to religious complacency isn't working harder at a list of do's and don'ts-it's falling in love with God.

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.
