“We are holy because of what we don't participate in (and at this point we may be the only organization in the world defining success by what we don't do)...All of a sudden, holiness is defined by what we do. We are now a community of faith taking Jesus at His word and following His plan, even when it does not make sense to the culture around us and even when it costs us.”
― David Platt, Radical: Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream

“LUKEWARM PEOPLE rarely share their faith with their neighbors, coworkers, or friends. They do not want to be rejected, nor do they want to make people uncomfortable by talking about private issues like religion.”
― Francis Chan, Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God

“True faith means holding nothing back; it bets everything on the hope of eternity.”
― Francis Chan, Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God

“Worry implies that we don't quite trust God is big enough, powerful enough, or loving enough to take care of what's happening in our lives.
Stress says the things we are involved in are important enough to merit our impatience, our lack of grace towards others, or our tight grip of control.
Basically, these two behaviors communicate that it's okay to sin and not trust God because the stuff in my life is somehow exceptional. Both worry and stress reek of arrogance. They declare our tendency to forget that we've been forgiven, that our lives are brief ... and that in the context of God's strength, our problems are small, indeed.”
