“The churches delivering experiences that exceed guests' expectations are those to which people return, again and again, until they're no longer guests but full-fledged members of the church community.

“It is also important to notice that Satan enters the biblical scene as part of God’s creation. This means that he is not all powerful. He is only alive because God gives him life. He is a deadly deceiver, but his power is infinitely less than God’s power. So we shouldn’t be terrified of Satan’s power, but we do need to be wary of his lies and manipulation.”
― Francis Chan, Multiply: Disciples Making Disciples

“We often forget what an honor it is that God would offer relationship. We can get so accustomed to people begging us to follow God that we forget what a miracle it is that we are invited.”
― Francis Chan, Multiply: Disciples Making Disciples

“We don't believe something by merely saying we believe it, or even when we believe that we believe it. We believe something when we act as if it were true.”
