Francis Chan- think hard and stay humble

1 Corinthian 8:1-3
Now about food sacrificed to idols: We know that “We all possess knowledge.” But knowledge puffs up while love builds up. Those who think they know something do not yet know as they ought to know. But whoever loves God is known by God.[a]

God, help me to love them!! 

Lord, how can I use the gift you gave me to love my brothers and sisters?
lack of love...

We believe those verses when we really act them out.



Our love for people will fascinate for those nonbelievers

when is the last time you wept for the lost?

Lord, I want you to save my friend, my love one
because I got this unceasing anguish love for them.
It is that which motivate us to talk and act and to love.

How much do we love?!
grew knowledge of God and grew love of people

Do you morns for those who morns?
Do you learn because you love?

Father.... teach me how to love my brothers and sisters? I don't know how to love people the way you love me. How often I don't care....Did I do what I do because I love people? Lord, help me to gain more of your knowledge and understand your words because my love for people. Knowledge is essential but it is not sufficient. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. (1 Corinthian 13:2) God look at me and love me. Do I look at people and love them?


constantly thinking about other....
consider other more important than myself.
how can I build people up???
How can I encourage people to focus on the kingdom?


brag about the fact that you know God and God know you!!!!! 
I know my God listen to me!! He answers to my prayer....
I am known by God and He calls me by name!

Can we say what Paul can say: imitate me like I imitate God? 
Do you look and act and love like Jesus?


what do you want to be known for?!
