The Christian life is a process of better understanding what Jesus taught, learning to apply that teaching in our everyday lives, and then teaching others - people directly around us and people on the other side of the globe - to do the same.

Our greatest fear as individuals & as a church should not be of failure, but of suceeding at things in life that dont really matter.

Even in my own church I heard the words, 'Francis Chan' more than I heard the words, 'Holy Spirit.'

Your problems are not just your problems. Ultimately, they belong to the church body that God has placed you in.

The church becomes irrelevant when it becomes purely a human creation. We are not all we were made to be when everything in our lives and churches can be explained apart from the work and presence of the Spirit of God.

Being around a church culture, even leading a gathering of believers, I've gotten pretty good at predicting what's going to happen in a church service.

Proclaiming the gospel to a lost world cannot be just another activity to add to the church's crowded agenda. It must be central to who we are. It forms our identity.
