I’m just one. I find myself thinking that a lot lately because it is very true. I’m just one. One voice. One heart. One body. One writer. I’m just one. And, the good news is that I am one of many! I don’t have to say it all. I don’t have to feel it all.…
I’m sorry, Francis…
I was talking to some young adults a while back, and they were discussing the holiness of God, His majesty, His power, His Supreme Authority. I was soaking it all in, seeing this realization of holiness and the awesomeness of Almighty God, when one of them said, “Francis Chan said: ‘Is this the God that…
About cats and dogs
I had a friend that used to say, “I’m God’s cat.” He would say it in an air of disappointment, in a voice of defeat, and he made it very clear what he meant. “It’s like EVERY time I get something good ...God waits until I’m practically holding it in my hands, assured that its…

Suddenly your world that was…
