Something is wrong when our lives make sense to unbelievers.

When you read the New Testament, you see the Holy Spirit was supposed to change everything so that this gathering of people who call themselves Christians had this supernatural element about them.

Even in my own church I heard the words, 'Francis Chan' more than I heard the words, 'Holy Spirit.'

Churches we build only by our own efforts and not in the strength of the Spirit will quickly collapse when we don't push and prod people along.

We have a God who is a Creator, not a duplicator.

Frederick Buechner writes, “Intellectually we all know that we will die but we do not really know it in the sense that the knowledge becomes a part of us. We do not really know it in the sense of living as thought it were true. On the contrary, we tend to live as though our lives would go on forever.
