With my natural communication abilities, I could probably gather a crowd even without the Spirit.
Francis Chan -
Christians today like to play it safe. We want to put ourselves in situations where we are safe 'even if there is no God.' But if we truly desire to please God, we cannot live that way.
Francis Chan -
Let us be eager to leave what is familiar for what is true.
Francis Chan -
I don't want my life to be explainable without the Holy Spirit. I want people to look at my life and know I couldn't be doing this by my own power. I want to live in such a way that I am desperate for Him to come through. That if He doesn't come through, I am screwed.
Francis Chan -
We often think of prayer as a means to an end. Prayer is the goal.

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

It's not that there aren't a million other things to learn about God, but He says you've got to start with the fear of the Lord because that's the beginning of wisdom.
Francis Chan -
The God who loans you life sees your every move, hears each word you speak, knows your every thought. You are seen by God. Noticed. Known.
Francis Chan -
We have to learn how to control our minds. We have to learn self-control.
Francis Chan -
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.
Francis Chan -
Lukewarm living and claiming Christ's name simultaneously is utterly disgusting to God.
Francis Chan -
Do you love this God who is everything, or do you just love everything He gives you?
Francis Chan
-
What evidence do you have that you know Jesus?
Francis Chan -
We have to believe it enough that it changes how we live.
Francis Chan -
We should be so joyful from God's grace that others would respond by saying, 'I wish I had your God.
Francis Chan -
Giving that is not motivated by love is worth nothing.
