Francis Chan Quotes

The important thing is neither your nationality nor the religion you professed, but how your faith translated itself in your life.

Faith is about doing. You are how you act, not just how you believe.

You have to look at what a person does with his life. Anyone can say that he's a Christian, but you look at how they live.

It is in our lives, and not from our words, that our religion must be judged.

People are all alike in their promises. It is only in their deeds that they are different.

I doubt that anyone does not really believe in God. People may think they don't have any belief, but you will usually find that there is a belief in something beyond himself. In any case, I would not judge a man's character by his belief or unbelief. I would judge his character by his deeds; and no matter what he said about his beliefs, his behavior would soon show whether he was a man of good character or bad.

Whether someone signs something is not what's important. It's what they do and how they do it that matters.

Common men talk bagfuls of religion but do not practise even a grain of it. The wise man speaks a little, even though his whole life is religion expressed in action.

What I believe is not what I say I believe; what I believe is what I do. I used to say that I believed it was important to tell people about Jesus, but I never did. A friend kindly explained that if I do not introduce people to Jesus, then I don't believe Jesus is an important person. It doesn't matter what I say. We live for what we believe.

They say: Belief is important. I say: No, actions are important. Judge by deed, not by creed.

Your words will tell others what you think. Your actions will tell them what you believe.

My faith is not identified by my title. My faith is identified by how I live. Wearing the uniform is not the same as playing the game.

What you do simply proves what you believe.

Religion is behavior and not mere belief.

Belief means nothing without actions

The only measure of what you believe is what you do.

The faith that acts not, is it truly faith?

It's not who I am underneath but what I do that defines me.

What you are will show in what you do.

A man's action is only a picture book of his creed.

As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say. I just watch what they do.

We want to watch what he does, not listen to what he says.

A dog is not considered a good dog because he is a good barker. A man is not considered a good man because he is a good talker.

RELIGION IS DOING; a man does not merely think his religion or feel it, he lives his religion as much as he is able, otherwise it is not religion but fantasy or philosophy. Whether he likes it or not he shows his attitude towards religion by his actions and he can show his attitude only by his actions. Therefore if his actions are opposed to those which are demanded by a given religion he cannot assert that he belongs to that religion.

Through our faith, we gain the courage to take action. And through action, we move one step closer toward the manifestation of our desires.
