Our culture is all about shallow relationships. But that doesn't mean we should stop looking each other in the eye and having deep conversations.
A key to everything is surrender - to really come before the Lord and say, 'I will literally stay here as long as you want me to stay' or 'God, I will really go anywhere on the earth.'
Due to our consumer mindset, people are prone to jump from church to church, which weakens the church overall.
Truth is, I think, if God just gave us our daily bread, many of us would be angry. 'That's all you're going to give me? You're just going to give me enough to sustain me for today? What about tomorrow or next year or 10, 20, 30 years from now? I want to know that I'm set up.' And yet Jesus says just pray for your daily provisions.
Even in my own church I heard the words, 'Francis Chan' more than I heard the words, 'Holy Spirit.'
