Following Christ isn't something that can be done halfheartedly or on the side. It is not a label we can display when it is useful. It must be central to everything we do and are.

Francis ChanI don't want my life to be explainable without the Holy Spirit. I want people to look at my life and know I couldn't be doing this by my own power. I want to live in such a way that I am desperate for Him to come through. That if He doesn't come through, I am screwed.
Francis ChanSolomon warned us not to rush into Godโs presence with words. Thatโs what fools do. And often, thatโs what we do.
Francis ChanOswald Chambers writes, โNever make a principle out of your experience; let God be as original with other people as He is with you.โ To that I would add, โBe careful not to turn othersโ lives into the mold for your own.โ Allow God to be as creative with you as He is with each of us.
