A relationship with God simply cannot grow when money, sins, activities, favorite sports teams, addictions, or commitments are piled up on top of it.
FRANCIS CHANA relationship with God simply cannot grow when money, sins, activities, favorite sports teams, addictions, or commitments are piled up on top of it.
FRANCIS CHANFollowing 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 CHANThe point of your life is to point to Him. Whatever you are doing, God wants to be glorified, because this whole thing is His.
FRANCIS CHANGod’s presence is all that matters.
FRANCIS CHANLife is about Jesus. We are not here to tell our story, but His.
FRANCIS CHANTrust whatever He has for you. It will be better than anything you can plan for yourself.
FRANCIS CHANDo you know that nothing you do in this life will ever matter, unless it is about loving God and loving the people he has made?
FRANCIS CHANDo you love this God who is everything, or do you just love everything He gives you?
FRANCIS CHANWhen 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 CHANJesus said go and make disciples, but so often we just sit and make excuses.
FRANCIS CHANGod doesn’t call us to be comfortable. He calls us to trust Him.
FRANCIS CHANOur greatest fear should not be of failure but of succeeding at things in life that don’t really matter.
FRANCIS CHANBut God doesn’t call us to be comfortable. He calls us to trust Him so completely that we are unafraid to put ourselves in situations where we will be in trouble if He doesn’t come through.
FRANCIS CHANThe point is not to completely understand God but to worship Him. Let the very fact that you cannot know Him fully lead you to praise Him for His infiniteness and grandeur.
FRANCIS CHANOur lack of intimacy is due to our refusal to unplug and shut off communication from all others so we can be alone with Him.
FRANCIS CHANLukewarm people call ‘radical’ what Jesus expected of all His followers.
