Francis Chan, Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God
"إن عدم قدرتنا على فهم الله فهمًا كاملًا أمر محبط، لكن من السخافة أن نظن أن لنا الحق في حصر الله في نطاق ما نستطيع إدراكه. يا له من إله ضئيل، لا قيمة له، سيكون حينئذ! إذا كان عقلي بحجم علبة صودا، وكان الله بحجم جميع المحيطات، فسيكون من الغباء أن أقول إنه ليس إلا تلك الكمية الضئيلة من الماء التي أستطيع أن أغرفها في علبتي الصغيرة. إن الله أعظم من ذلك بكثير، أبعد بكثير من حياتنا المحصورة بالزمن، والمعتمدة على الهواء والطعام والنوم."

"Not being able to fully understand God is frustrating but it is ridiculous for us to think we have the right to limit God to something we are capable of comprehending. What a stunted, insignificant god that would be! If my mind is the size of a soda can and God is the size of all the oceans, it would be stupid for me to say He is only the small amount of water I can scoop into my little can. God is so much bigger, so far beyond our time-encased, air/food/sleep-dependent lives."

"إن غاية وجودك هي الإشارة إليه. فمهما كنت تفعل، يريد الله أن يُمجَّد، لأن هذا الكون برمته ملكه."

"الحياة الفاترة والادعاء باسم المسيح في آن واحد أمر مقزز لله تمامًا."

"We are scared to make mistakes, so we fret over figuring out God’s will. We wonder what living according to His will would actually look and feel like, and we are scared to find out. We forget that we were never promised a 20-year plan of action; instead, God promises multiple times in Scripture never to leave or forsake us. God wants us to listen to His Spirit on a daily basis, and even throughout the day … My hope is that instead of searching for “God’s will for my life,” each of us would learnt to seek hard after “the Spirit’s leading in my life today."
"نخشى ارتكاب الأخطاء، فنضطرب في سعينا لفهم مشيئة الله. نتساءل كيف ستبدو الحياة وفقًا لمشيئته وما هو شعورها حقًا، ونخشى اكتشاف ذلك. ننسى أننا لم نُوعَد قط بخطة عمل تمتد لعشرين عامًا؛ بل وعد الله مرارًا في الكتاب المقدس بأنه لن يتركنا أو يتخلى عنا أبدًا. يريدنا الله أن نصغي لروحه يوميًا، بل وعلى مدار اليوم... أملي هو أنه بدلًا من البحث عن "مشيئة الله لحياتي"، يتعلم كل واحد منا أن يسعى جاهدًا وراء "إرشاد الروح في حياتي اليوم"."

"We have a God who is a Creator, not a duplicator."

"God is the only being who is good, and the standards are set by Him. Because God hates sin, He has to punish those guilty of sin. Maybe that's not an appealing standard. But to put it bluntly, when you get your own universe, you can make your own standards."

"God exists outside of time, and since we are within time, there is no way we will ever totally grasp that concept."

"And your own heart generates enough pressure as it pumps blood throughout your body that it could squirt blood up to 30 feet. (I’ve never tried this, and I don’t recommend it.)"

"Frederick Buechner writes, “Intellectually we all know that we will die but we do not really know it in the sense that the knowledge becomes a part of us. We do not really know it in the sense of living as thought it were true. On the contrary, we tend to live as though our lives would go on forever."

"Our greatest fear as individuals & as a church should not be of failure, but of suceeding at things in life that dont really matter."

"We are a culture that relies on technology over community, a society in which spoken and written words are cheap, easy to come by, and excessive. Our culture says anything goes; fear of God is almost unheard of. We are slow to listen, quick to speak, and quick to become angry."

"Our greatest fear should not be of failure but of succeeding at things in life that don't really matter."

"[Y]ou have to stop loving and pursuing Christ in order to sin. When you are pursuing love, running toward Christ, you do not have opportunity to wonder, *Am I doing this right?* or *Did I serve enough this week?* When you are running toward Christ, you are freed up to serve, love, and give thanks without guilt, worry or fear. As long as you are running, you're safe."

"Many Spirit-filled authors have exhausted the thesaurus in order to describe God with the glory He deserves. His perfect holiness, by definition, assures us that our words can't contain Him. Isn't it a comfort to worship a God we cannot exaggerate?"
Francis Chan, Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God
"The irony is that while God doesn't need us but still wants us, we desperately need God but don't really want Him most of the time. He treasures us and anticipates our departure from this earth to be with Him-and we wonder, indifferently, how much we have to do for Him to get by."

""Do you know that nothing you do in this life will ever matter, unless it is about loving God and loving the people he has made?"
