I was raised Christian after age 5, but I didn\'t really understand it until high school. A friend of mine invited me to his youth group. There I heard the gospel, understood it, and accepted it.

Quotes from the same author

With my natural communication abilities, I could probably gather a crowd even without the Spirit.
 Francis Chan
I believe He wants us to love others so much that we go to extremes to help them.  I believe He wants us to be known for giving—of our time, our money, and our abilities—and to start a movement of ‘giving’ churches.  In so doing, we can alleviate the suffering in the world and change the reputation of His bride in America.

Churchgoers all across the nation say the Holy Spirit has entered them. They claim that God has given them a supernatural ability to follow Christ, put their sin to death, and serve the church. Christians talk about being born again say that they they were dead but now have come to life. We have become hardened to those words, but they are powerful words that have significant meaning. Yet when those outside the church see no difference in our lives, they begin to question our integrity, out sanity, or even worse, our God. And can you blame them?

Giving that is not motivated by love is worth nothing.

...when we love God, we naturally run to Him-frequently and zealously. Jesus didn't command that we have a regular time with Him each day. Rather, He tells us to 'love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' He called this the 'first and greatest commandment' (Matt. 22:37-38). The results are intimate prayer and study of His Word. Our motivation changes from guilt to love.
