Catching Waves by Francis Chan
These Francis Chan quotes are pumping me up!
“We’re not making waves,” says Chan, an avid surfer, “we’re just catching them.”
“I equate it to surfing. Sometimes I’m out in the ocean and there are no sets coming in. I really don’t want to paddle in, so I’ll pray, “God, give me one nice set, one good wave to take me back to shore.” I pray because I can’t make a wave and I can’t ask my friends to go further out and splash to create a wave. We’re powerless. That’s what I feel like in church. We think we can make waves, but in reality we’re totally dependent on the Spirit.”
