Francis Chan quotes about
Lukewarm people call 'radical' what Jesus expected of all His followers.
God has given you this good stuff so that you can show the world a person who enjoys blessings, but who is still totally obsessed with God.
If life were stable, I'd never need God's help.
My pride and immaturity caused me to make things more of a struggle than they had to be. I can always blame others or circumstances, but the truth was that my own sinful pride led to more stress than anything else.
Are we in love with God or just His stuff?
God is love, but He also defines what love is. We don't have the license to define love according to our standards.
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.
In our world, where hundreds of things distract us from God, we have to intentionally and consistently remind ourselves of Him.
...you will have a choice: to adjust how you live daily or to stay the same.
We are consumed by safety. Obsessed with it, actually. Now, I’m not saying it is wrong to pray for God’s protection, but I am questioning how we’ve made safety our highest priority. We’ve elevated safety to the neglect of whatever God’s best is, whatever would bring God the most glory, or whatever would accomplish His purposes in our lives and in the world.
The best things in life are gifts from the One who steadfastly loves us. But an important question to ask ourselves is this: are we in love with God or just His stuff?
We have become dangerously comfortable- believers ooze with wealth and let their addictions to comfort and security numb the radical urgency of the gospel.
In the craziness of our world, it takes tremendous effort to find a quiet place. It takes time to quiet your mind and your heart before the Lord.
The Bible teaches that true joy is formed in the midst of the difficult seasons of life.
