Francis Chan, Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God

Chan read NT and wondered whether we in church are missing (19). I wonder who has read the NT and not wondered the same.

Think Biblically rather than conventionally (20).

--"those would would rather die before their convictions do"

Jesus never begs us to give Him some small part of ourselves. He commands everything from His followers (22).


Beth Moore, Believing God

"...we see so little primarily because we believe Him for so little."

Join Beth in "praying that God will perform a miracle of His choosing in every life during our journey" through this particular study (7).

"God is calling us to leave the passive life bred by a past-tense view of faith and to participate in present-active-participle believing!"

"Nothing on earth compares to the strength God willingly interjects into lives caught in the act of believing" (11).

"Pray for a heart and a mind to diligently seek Him. Then immediately begin walking in faith as one who already has what she has asked" (15).

"If He can raise the dead, He can surely enliven the lazy? We have been called to a present-active-participle walk of faith, not a park 'n' ride" (18).

FIVE STATEMENT PLEDGE OF FAITH

1. God is Who He says He is.
2. God can do what He says He can do.
3. I am who God says I am.
4. I can do all things through Christ.
5. God's Word is alive and active in me.
