Francis Chan Quotes About Earth

Quotes about: Earth

• 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.

  Francis Chan

  Jesus, People, Looks

• People who are obsessed with Jesus aren't consumed with their personal safety and comfort above all else. Obsessed people care more about God's kingdom coming to this earth than their own lives being shielded from pain or distress.

  Christian, Jesus, Pain

• The irony is that while God doesn't need us but still wants us, we desperately need God but don't really want Him most of the time. He treasures us and anticipates our departure from this earth to be with Him-and we wonder, indifferently, how much we have to do for Him to get by.

• ...if God is truly the greatest good on this earth, would He be loving us if He didn't draw us toward what is best for us (even if that happens to be Himself)?

  Francis Chan

  Earth, Draws, Happens

  Francis Chan, Preston Sprinkle (2014). “The Francis Chan Collection: Crazy Love, Forgotten God, Erasing Hell, and Multiply”, p.42, David C Cook

• If God is truly the greatest good on this earth, would He be loving us if He didn’t draw us toward what is best for us (even if that happens to be Himself)? Doesn’t His courting, luring, pushing, calling and even ‘threatening’ demonstrate His love? If He didn’t do all of that, wouldn’t we accuse Him of being unloving in the end, when all things are revealed?

  Francis Chan

  Calling, Earth, His Love

  Francis Chan (2013). “Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God”, p.63, David C Cook

• People accuse me of going overboard preparing for my first ten million years in eternity; in my opinion, people go overboard in worrying about their last ten on earth.

  Francis Chan

  Years, People, Worry

• Obsessed people are more concerned with obeying God than doing what is expected or fulfilling the status quo. A person who is obsessed with Jesus will do things that don't always make sense in terms of success or wealth on this earth.

  Francis Chan

  Christian, Jesus, People

  Francis Chan, Mark Beuving (2011). “Living Crazy Love: An Interactive Workbook for Individual or Small-Group Study”, p.91, David C Cook

• Whatever God's reasons for such diversity, creativity, and sophistication in the universe, on earth, and in our own bodies, the point of it all is His glory. God's art speaks of Himself, reflecting who He is and what He is like.

  Francis Chan

  Art, Creativity, Diversity
