QUOTABLES: Francis Chan

“I think a lot of us need to forget about God’s will for my life. God cares more about our response to His Spirit’s leading today, in this moment, than about what we intend to do next year.

QUOTABLES: G.K. Chesterton on “Exulting in Monotony”
December 24, 2012
“Because children have abounding vitality, because they are in spirit fierce and free, therefore they want things repeated and unchanged.

“I think these younger Christians are the vanguard of some major new religious, social, and political arrangements that could make the older form of culture wars obsolete.

QUOTABLES: Elizabeth Achtemeier

“The Christian way of life is no fairytale; in the power of the Spirit it can be lived. Countless Christians through the ages have shown us how.
