Quotes

Francis Chan : “I want people to look at my life and know that I couldn’t be doing this by my own power. I want to live in such a way that I am desperate for Him to come through. I believe He is calling me – calling all of us – to depend on Him for living in a way that cannot be mimicked or forged.” (Forgotten God); Dave Chilcoat : “The impact of God’s faithfulness in our situation has been phenomenal for our whole family. If I had to choose between going back to our previous lives or continuing to have ALS, having learned what we have learned so far, I would choose the disease.” (No One Tells A Dying Man To Shut Up); D.L. Moody : “I do not know anything that would wake up Chicago better than for every man and woman here who loves Him to begin to talk about Him to their friends, and just to tell them what He has done for you. You have got a circle of friends. Go and tell them of Him.” (SERMONS);
