“For THE TIME WILL COME WHEN THEY WILL NOT LISTEN to the sound doctrine, but, having ITCHING EARS, will heap up for themselves TEACHERS AFTER THEIR OWN LUSTS; and *WILL TURN THEIR EARS AWAY FROM THE TRUTH*, and turn aside to FABLES.” (2 Tim. 4:3,4)
With all the chaos that is going on in the world right now, Pastor Francis Chan expresses his concern for believers as times get harder and harder before Christ’s return. God has given the Church warnings about judgement day, and the things that lie ahead. We can stand before the throne of God at any second. The question is, are our hearts ready for that moment? Are our eyes open to truly knowing God like the scriptures say?
My Notes:
6:10 “What I’m most concerned about here in Hong Kong, when I talk to people is the way people talk about salvation compared to what I read in the Bible. There are so many people who feel safe … ‘I prayed the sinner’s prayer and I asked Jesus to come into my heart.'”
Do you know there is no sinner’s prayer in the Bible? Why do you have this confidence? I prayed that prayer too.”
What 1 John really says about how we know we have eternal life.
Excellent message about American Christianity verses real Christianity. How theologians have twisted the written word of God!
“Fear” means fear! Lukewarm is gross to God!
27:10 “I’m praying that something I’ve said through the years sticks, and especially this morning, that the Holy Spirit of God would light a fire in some of you to where you work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, right now.”

Jesus spoke to me in a dream that I was in danger of going to hell *merely* for lusting while watching TV. I then did a careful study, and write what the NT really says here, which includes my dream:
“Not everyone who SAYS to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who DOES the will of my Father who is in heaven.” – Jesus in Mt. 7:21

“It’s not God tempting you” Francis Chan
International Ministries
Published on May 4, 2017
Francis is really special! Many of his teachings are really good, including his teachings on hell, which he co-wrote a book on. It’s interesting that when Francis challenged these witnesses about their own eternity, where they’ll end up, heaven or hell, and how they’ve put all of their trust in someone else’s interpretation of what the Bible says, I wonder if Francis knew that their false teachers also tell them that no one goes to hell — which they then teach others, door to door, throughout America, deceiving many.

Francis Chan Meets Some Jehovah’s Witnesses
How do Jehovah’s Witnesses react when they meet someone really excited about God and the Bible and they want to talk about it? Often times they can’t run away fast enough. Are they really looking for people who love God and love the Bible -or- are they just looking for people who will blindly submit themselves to their doctrine?
Excellent message except: God does not make sure we won’t walk away though, starting @18:30. Many truly born-again people are doing exactly that — not making sure they’re right with God and men — keeping our hearts pure, our consciences clean.
God allows us to willfully sin and not repent; though, it will grieve His heart. Those who do this become prodigal. God eagerly waits for them/us to return, but He won’t make us serve Him.

The Church In The End Days – Francis Chan
Website: http://www.brministry.org
We are becoming more and more like the world around us. The warning in then end days is being seen in the “typical” churches. We are seeing families are falling apart, teens are out of control, parents are faced with addictions. How in the world does a Pastor lead this congregation to glorify God. This message is to encourage and challenge pastors. All Rights belong to Francis Chan
Francis Chan, transcribed by me:
“When I look at Paul’s life, and he goes around telling everyone he can — people are beating him up, spitting on him, stoning him, whipping him, whatever, but he wasn’t going to stop. I look at that, I go: ‘see, but that makes sense.’ Don’t you look at his life and go: ‘in light of hell, his life makes sense.’ Right? And that’s what bugs me. His life makes sense, because if I really believed in a literal hell….”
One person commented:
Chan was talking about Penn of Penn and Teller, I believe. Ive seen where someone from Way of the Master talked to Penn and that was his response, about how much do you hate someone not to tell them about hell.
Paul “always having a conscience void of offense toward God and men” (Acts 24:16) also makes sense in light of hell. His conscience needed to be clear for his own salvation, as well as to be qualified to lead others.

“I speak the truth in Christ—I am not lying, my conscience confirms it through the Holy Spirit— I have great sorrow and UNCEASING ANGUISH in my heart. For I could wish that I myself were cursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my people, those of my own race, the people of Israel.”

Francis Chan teaches about the sinful condition of mankind, and God’s willingness to punish sin in spite of His love for us.
Doctrine
Knowing the Truth and Acting On It
What are the essential beliefs of Christianity? And how should a healthy understanding of doctrinal issues—like The Trinity, the Church, sin and salvation—impact the way we live and act toward God and others?
We will all face times where our faith will be challenged either by other people or by difficult circumstances. That’s why it’s critical that we have a foundational knowledge of the core beliefs of Christianity and a willing heart to obey God.
In these seven dynamic sessions, students share real-life stories about their own struggles with living out the essentials of their faith on a daily basis. And Francis Chan provides powerful teaching from Scripture and helps teens understand the core of our Christian faith.
Francis Chan Bio:
Francis Chan is the founder of Cornerstone Church in Simi Valley, where he served as the pastor for 16 years. Francis is a nationally recognized speaker focusing mostly on college-aged adults and pastors. He’s committed to teach directly from the words of Scripture and is passionate about seeing the next generation of American Christians display a much deeper love for Jesus and their neighbors.
In April 2010, Francis stepped down to pursue ministry that God laid on his heart and continues as a non-staff elder of the Cornerstone Church. He is the author of New York Times best-selling book, Crazy Love as well as Forgotten God and three children’s books.
He has a Bachelor of Arts degree from Master’s College and a Master of Divinity degree from Master’s Seminary. He is also the Founder of Eternity Bible College and serves on the board of directors for Children’s Hunger Fund and World Impact.
Francis lives in Northern California with his wife, Lisa, and their five children.

K.P. Yohannan said to Francis:
“God could do great things through you if you are willing to be lonely, if you are willing to be misunderstood. But the moment you’re not willing to stand alone, the moment you’re not willing to be lonely is the moment that you will be of no use to God.”
The desire to be liked…
“Focus on the kingdom, not the family” — and then the family and marriage will work out.
“I want to hear Your voice, because the majority is always going to be wrong.”
“If I say what’s popular I’m probably going to be wrong.”

“Jesus was as black and white as you get.
He would look at people and say:
‘Why do you call me Lord if you don’t do what I say?'”
– Francis Chan
What does Jesus mean when He tells us to follow Him? Are we supposed to just agree with what He says, or does He really mean we’re supposed to do the things He did and live the life He lived? Once we understand how to follow Jesus, we see the hard life that might be in store for us, and then the real question becomes not how, but why we would want to follow Him in the first place.
