From start to finish, this movie is obviously about God. He is the main character. How is is possible that we live as though it is about us?
Francis ChanI think most American churchgoers are the soil that chokes the seed because of all the thorns. Thorns are anything that distracts us from God. When we want God and a bunch of other stuff, then that means we have thorns in our soil. A relationship with God simply cannot grow when money, sins, activities, favorite sports teams, addictions, or commitments are piled on top of it.
Francis ChanFear of God failing us leads us to "cover for God." This means we ask, expect, and are satisfied with less.
Francis ChanAs I see it, a lukewarm Christian is an oxymoron; there is no such thing. To put it plainly, churchgoers who are 'lukewarm' are not Christians. We will not see them in heaven.
