Crazy Love By Francis Chan
This week, I just finished reading Francis Chan's book, Crazy Love. It was a very bold and convicting book that I would recommend to anyone who is interested in growing in their love relationship with God. In this book, Francis talks about how miniature we are in comparison to the whole universe that God created, but how He still wants to have an intimate love relationship with each of us. Isn't that amazing? He also talks about how we need to be constantly foccused on Heaven- you never know when you will take your last breath. God can stop your life at any moment. In fact, there is a chance (a small one), that you might not even finish reading this post. But with knowing this, we need to make sure the days that we are alive, that we are living them completely for God. Francis also talks about lukewarm "Christians". He says, "Lukewarm people do whatever is necessary to keep themselves from feeling too guilty. They want to do the bare minimum, to be 'good enough' without it requiring too much of them (p 76)." He also states that lukewarm people are in fact not Christians at all; there is no possible way for someone who is truly saved to be living for themselves and doing things that are "of the world". He says when you are really a Christian, you have to love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength - which requires ACTION. There is no way to love God with everything you have, and still not give and love others as much as you love yourself. Well I'm not going to tell you every detail of the whole book, because I would like for you to read it yourself, if you haven't already.
