Francis Chan Quotes

Therefore bread was created for the glory of Christ. Hunger and thirst were created for the glory of Christ. And fasting was created for the glory of Christ. Which means that bread magnifies Christ in two ways: by being eaten with gratitude for his goodness, and by being forfeited out of hunger for God himself. When we eat, we taste the emblem of our heavenly food—the Bread of Life. And when we fast we say, “I love the Reality above the emblem.” In the heart of the saint both eating and fasting are worship. Both magnify Christ.

God's love has a width, length, height, and depth, but we will never reach the end of it. Our capacity to experience God's love will be exhausted long before God's capacity to give it is strained. The picture of having Christ dwell inside us by faith presents us with compelling and comforting possibilities. What Christ does in us and through us will always be 'exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think.'

There is a restlessness within us that cannot be satisfied until we rest fully in God.

Just because you are going to Heaven doesn't mean you have Heaven established in you. Success is Heaven on earth.

I would rather a thousand times be five minutes at the feet of Christ than listen a lifetime to all the wise men in the world.

If you abide in the love of Christ, rooted in the faith, you will encounter, even amid setbacks and suffering, the source of true happiness and joy. Faith does not run counter to your highest ideals; on the contrary, it elevates and perfects those ideals. Dear young people, do not be satisfied with anything less than Truth and Love, do not be content with anything less than Christ.

Life will only make sense; and can only produce long-term happiness, peace and joy when embraced from the perspective of the soul.

If you are searching for your purpose in life then you're never going to be satisfied. This life will never satisfy you. You'll never be happy and you'll never be content. The only really contentment or true happiness is with Christ.

I know of no other way to triumph over sin long-term than to gain a distaste for it because of a superior satisfaction in God.

When Christ becomes our central focus, contentment replaces our anxiety as well as our fears and insecurities.

Our heart is restless until it rests in You.

God wants you to have a good life, a life filled with love, joy, peace, and fulfillment. That doesn’t mean it will always be easy, but it does mean that it will always be good.
