Only the Holy Spirit can give you the power to not think about yourself, to set you free from yourself.
Francis ChanMy only prayer for my time with you is, "God I just want these men and women to long for you."
Francis ChanOur lives should be more than just focusing on our marriage but on focusing our marriage toward what God's mission is for us as a couple.
Francis ChanLukewarm people do not live by faith; their lives are structured so they never have to. They don't have to trust God if something unexpected happens- they have their savings account. They don't need God to help them- they have their retirement plan in place. They don't genuinely seek out what life God would have them live- they have life figured and mapped out. They don't depend on God on a daily basis- their refrigerators are full and, for the most part, they are in good health. The truth is, their lives wouldn't look much different if they suddenly stopped believing in God.
