Due to our consumer mindset, people are prone to jump from church to church, which weakens the church overall. ”

Every year in my life, I trust fewer and fewer people. ”

For a person to be truly discipled and growing in their faith, they need more than one person discipling them. ”

It's easy to write for God and about God, because what a thrill to remind the church that the Holy Spirit of God is in you. What a rush! What an amazing blessing! ”

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

With my natural communication abilities, I could probably gather a crowd even without the Spirit. ”
