It all started with Crazy Love, I believed I knew God before but wow I had no clue how different this relationship should be and God has moved in my life like I could never have imagined. Since reading Crazy Love I have held two Crazy Love studies given it to all my friends and employees, I've been baptized and I am completely living for the Lord and allowing Him to direct my path. Words can't explain my gratefulness to Francis for his devotion and how he is changing people for God!!!

For 52 years I've been a Jesus girl .. but through these past 38 months, God has crushed & broken my heart wide-open to Who He really is. I now truly do BELIEVE Him! Life Today & Francis are 2 of the sharpest tools God has used to begin the process of healing, transforming & renewing my mind & heart. As I thank our Lord for you, I am earnestly praying that you will remain strong in the Spirit..& that words may be given you so that you will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel. Yes!

All glory be to God. I pray that the sober teaching of the bible in power of Holly Spirit would be more strong and effective.

@shannon51778 Remember though, it isn't so much Francis as God through Francis. That was one thing he stressed very heavily at Passion this year. He doesn't want the credit. He wants God to get all the glory as He should.

AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!

We used to be different, but called us to a life of living more biblical Christianity, and it has done nothing but bless us! As Francis and his wife grow more and more, he will continue to speak things that are more and more difficult for the body of Christ to hear! BUT SOMEONE NEEDS TO SPEAK on the things no one feels good about hearing! MAy the Lord Bless him!

Holiness.. God is truly awesome i felt like this about a year ago.. wanted more and didnt know what it was... Someone came to me with some basic truths in the word of God and i denied those truths but I eventually went into a box where i kept running into the same thing(wanting more of God) Holiness is the key and answer.. Romans 12:2 Hebrew 12:14 Matthew 5:8... be blessed in Jesus name

I love Chan's honesty as a Christian and a leader. Pray everything goes well for him.

(Cont... without an ounce of resentment...) :)

(We can be so self-righteous at times)... Moving on... maybe, you can relate to the Israelites who wandered around for 40 years in the wilderness (READ: after they were freed from Egypt) instead of 40 days, eh? Why? Wasn't it because of their lack of faith in God? (READ: JUST ENOUGH LIGHT FOR THE NEXT STEP...) And if you're still confused about the meaning of 'CHURCH' & 'LEAVING' in this context, refer to the comments @Jazzgirl878 & @insightfulgirl
