Francis Chan Livres

Personne ne savait vraiment ce que le tracteur pouvait faire. Les villageois aimaient leur gros tracteur rouge. Il les aidait à cultiver et à récolter juste assez de nourriture pour toute l'année. Mais il était difficile à utiliser et il ne fonctionnait pas très bien. Même si tout le monde s'y mettait pour le pousser et le tirer, on n'arrivait pas à faire grand-chose. Tout le monde pensait que c'était normal. Jusqu'à ce que David, le fermier, découvre un livre perdu depuis bien longtemps dans un grenier plein de poussière. Ce livre pourra-t-il changer quelque chose ? C'est ce que pense David le fermier. Mais les autres villageois n'en sont pas si sûrs... Le gros tracteur rouge et le petit village est une parabole contemporaine parlant d'une vérité intemporelle : Dieu a un plan spécial pour vous et vous pouvez l'accomplir avec l'aide de l'Esprit Saint. Une leçon puissante, merveilleusement racontée pour nos petits.

Dieu est amour. Un amour fou, irrésistible, bouleversant. Quelque chose ne colle pas. C est fou quand on y pense? : le Dieu de l’univers le Créateur de l’azote et des pommes de pin, des galaxies et de l’ADN nous aime d un amour irrésistible et inconditionnel ! Et nous... nous répondons à cet amour en allant régulièrement à l église, en chantant, en priant, et en faisant notre possible pour être des gens bien. L inadéquation de notre réponse saute aux yeux. Ne ressentez-vous pas le besoin, au plus profond de vous-même, de vivre plus ? N avez-vous pas soif d expérimenter une foi authentique qui apporte des réponses tangibles, radicales, aux problèmes de nos contemporains ? Dieu nous destine à une relation d amour passionnée. Nous ne venons jamais à bout de la tiédeur spirituelle en appliquant une liste de choses à faire ou à ne pas faire. Non. La tiédeur capitule quand nous tombons éperdument amoureux de Dieu. Quand on aime à la folie, plus rien n’est comme avant.

Have you ever wondered if we're missing it? It's crazy, if you think about it. The God of the universe—the Creator of nitrogen and pine needles, galaxies and E-minor—loves us with a radical, unconditional, self-sacrificing love. And what is our typical response? We go to church, sing songs, and try not to cuss. Whether you've verbalized it yet or not, we all know something's wrong. Does something deep inside your heart long to break free from the status quo? Are you hungry for an authentic faith that addresses the problems of our world with tangible, even radical, solutions? God is calling you to a passionate love relationship with Himself. Because the answer to religious complacency isn't working harder at a list of do's and don'ts-it's falling in love with God. And once you encounter His love, as Francis describes it, you will never be the same. Because when you're wildly in love with someone, it changes everything.

A follow up to the profound message of Crazy Love , Pastor Francis Chan offers a compelling invitation to understand, embrace, and follow the Holy Spirit’s direction in our lives. In the name of the Father, the Son, and … the Holy Spirit. We pray in the name of all three, but how often do we live with an awareness of only the first two? As Jesus ascended into heaven, He promised to send the Holy Spirit—the Helper—so that we could be true and living witnesses for Christ. Unfortunately, today’s church has admired the gift but neglected to open it. Breakthrough author Francis Chan rips away paper and bows to get at the true source of the church’s power—the Holy Spirit. Chan contends that we’ve ignored the Spirit for far too long, and we are reaping the disastrous results. Thorough scriptural support and compelling narrative form Chan’s invitation to stop and remember the One we’ve forgotten, the Spirit of the living God.

Jesus Christ handpicked common, uneducated men to build His church (Acts 4:13). Several were fishermen. One was a tax collector. All of them could be labeled "ordinary." Yet under their leadership, the church flourished while the world stood amazed. Today, the church looks to "trained professionals" to do the work. Lay people who have tremendous potential are made to feel inadequate by the religious elite. Many are paralyzed, believing that they "don't know enough" to be of much help. So they sit silently in church services and watch the educated minister. This was never God's intention. Too many Christians are intimidated by the thought of speaking to others about Jesus. Most feel like they don't know enough to lead others. This material is designed to change that. - Publisher
