Francis Chan delivers a powerful message to remind us of God's unmatchable strength. Christians are to show the world that our strength is not in ourselves, but in the power of God, the Creator. As a result, are you bearing His image boldly before the world as ambassadors? Or every once in a blue moon have you merely invited someone to a church ritual?
Is hell real? We love to believe that heaven is real, but find it hard believing in hell. It is amazing that Jesus talked more about hell and punishment, than he did about heaven. Francis answers many questions from his book erasing hell
"A person decides how close they really want to be to God." In the book of James 4 we read "draw near to God and He will draw near to you." We have no excuses. Francis shares the importance of realizing your responsibility to get close to your Father. He loves you. He cares for you. He knows all about you. He loves you even with your faults. He wants you to change and obey. He wants you to enjoy Him.
We do church services, events, and we even quote God, but is He really behind it. We are professionals at talking about God, but do we honestly have a personal relationship with Him? Are we real and open with God? How easy is it that we treat God like our social media. We are "friends" with God, but don't really know Him. Uploaded with permission!
