Francis Chan quotes about
We are here to love. Not much else matters.
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?
We don't get to decide who God is.
We have a God who is a Creator, not a duplicator.
It is true that God may have called you to be exactly where you are. But, it is absolutely vital to grasp that he didn’t call you there so you could settle in and live your life in comfort and superficial peace.
I have one reason why you should walk away from that temptation right now. One reason: God. Is. Better.
What are you doing right now that requires faith?
Grace is when you should be totally punished but are blessed for no reason.
Jesus evidently hates it when we tear into our brothers or sisters with demeaning words, words that fail to honor the people around us as the beautiful image-bearing creatures that they are.
God exists outside of time, and since we are within time, there is no way we will ever totally grasp that concept.
When the church really takes on the humble characteristics of Christ, that's going to lead to revival.
We are a culture that relies on technology over community, a society in which spoken and written words are cheap, easy to come by, and excessive. Our culture says anything goes; fear of God is almost unheard of. We are slow to listen, quick to speak, and quick to become angry.
...our concern is more about going to heaven than loving the King.
Where it gets weird is that nowadays there are millions of people on this earth who call themselves followers of Jesus, but their lives look nothing like His, and they're not obeying the things that He called them to do.
