Be careful not to turn others' lives into the mold for your own...we have a # God who is a # Creator not a # Duplicator .
Francis ChanOur greatest fear should not be of failure but of succeeding at things in life that don't really matter.
Francis ChanSome of you are sitting at home saying, 'I don't need a church to love God,' and I am here telling you that you are so wrong.
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.
