Founder’s Week 2020 - Francis Chan

[@jeffchacon5060]

Praise God for this lesson and how he is using Frances Chan to stretch our faith and bring us back to God's Word and God's heart. His lessons, and his God-honoring books and life, consistently make me want to grow in my faith, love and boldness. Thank you, Frances. God bless your move, your family, and your ministry.

[@jjcm3135]

I m catholic but I ve been following F Chan talks for a few years now. He is profoundly interesting. What he said about the healings reminded me of St. Francis Xavier. Where he went to in Asia healings abounded. As the first missionary so many villages wanted healing that he sent children to them and the healings got multiplied through children. I ve come to believe healing is the authentic mark of a true believer. Unity is our terrible obstacle. St. Johns gospel. Days our glory is dependent on our unity. The sick have been the victims of so much divisive theology. But today we live in such a Nazareth hardened culture I think even the Lord would have problems healing. F Chan is showing many people what’s important. It’s also interesting the Pope also Francis speaks often of the Church as a field hospital for the sick. For 33 yrs now this problem has occupied me. I believe Jesus wants us to heal in His name. The world expects it of us. We must expect it of us. It would utterly transform everything.

[@OquendoHector333]

The only thing I would add is this HUMBLE. why I said that because where sinful and distraction will come in disguise and it will break my heart to hear a faithful Man of God traded God's Healing for worldly reason. I'm just tired of hearing and seeing so call man of god taking advantage on people who really needs healing and that man of god is making a living of that. I hear you I would add Humbling as you approach that request and responsibilities. Amen to you and for wanting that for the needed one's.🙏

@@OquendoHector333 I agree completely except to add humilty, humility, humility.

@A Believer I agree completely but it is impossible and unwise to think we can live a "pure faith" minus tradition. What J Pelikan said is important - " Tradition is the living faith of the dead; traditionalism is the dead faith of the living." Aware of this distinction let us study & be guided by the bible and live Jesus' words in the gospels. God will do the rest.

[@rhondaellerbe3463]

This was a fabulous message of thirst and dying for Christ. Idk Francis Chan but Ido know God is able to use him as a vessel his kingdom just like he did Saul ! As for us.. where is proof of our love for souls? Of glad surrender that we might know Christ and the power of his resurrection? Regardless what Mr. Chan may have said ,done or believed in the past, God is able to see far beyond man, forgive deeper than any man.He is the Potter! This was a powerful message concerning his desire for Christ to be all and in us all. Let God smooth out the crooked places. Your job is to pray for such a one. Not condemn him as Satan. Jas 4:12 KJV There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another? As for me, I will pray God be glorified in Mr. Chan's walk and the souls that hear and obey the unadulterated gospel of grace, rejoice forevermore. ❤️🙏

[@jayfrei]

I can’t believe some of these comments. Is Chan not preaching the Gospel here!? C’mon. The thing that pushes me hardest toward agnosticism is “Christians” that do not desire unity, don’t instruct lovingly, and claim that it’s not the Gospel when Jesus is clearly proclaimed as Lord. Beautiful and challenging message.

[@jarednel]

Couldn't agree more. The infighting within Christianity grieves my heart. This is what happens in a culture where intellect and knowledge is praised and esteemed above spiritual experience and true discipleship. It can be overwhelming at times and I have to stay intimate with God to make sure that my love doesn't grow cold. I pray daily for His heart to pour into mine. It's a challenge though! 💛

[@ToOpen6seven]

Jesus Christ and Paul and many others were very critical of false teachers - maybe you need to read your Bible more. Jesus said he did not come to bring peace but a sword. I do agree with Pastor Chan that none of us really know the word until we DO THE WORD - that is the truth and something I know I have been guilty of not doing and that is not OK.

[@doctrinalwatchdog6268]

Unity around what? Chan is on the road to Roman Catholicism, the Roman Church has murdered and persecuted true Christians for the last 1,000+ years. Also they teach a false Gospel. There will be no unity with Rome, the Pope is an Antichrist, i pray that you will see that. Unity is found in the true Gospel of Christ and sound Biblical doctrine not fanciful stories about how you healed a bunch of people in some third world country where funny nobody caught it on their smart phone. Why doesn't Chan go down to the children's hospital and empty it out? Oh, wait because he can't heal anyone, he like Benny Hinn (who is has been hanging around with) is a religious Con-Men.

[@Godlessrain]

Please don’t let bad Christians turn you away from the goodness of Christ. Although, I understand why it has and continues to.

I also admire Francis Chan for his authentic love for the Lord and his passionate conviction to share the gospel and I totally agree with you that "acting as a good steward says a lot more" but would also add that there's no need to soft serve the truth about the prosperity gospel, it's misleading and harmful to most people that truly desire to follow after Jesus and it should be called out and rebuked for it not being biblical and in line with what scripture teaches. God bless you in your walk with the Lord my sister in Christ!

[@DylanDuBois1231]

Michael S. Thanks! I agree with you. I admire your strong stance about Christianity. I try to be gentle about it because I’m my early walk with Christ, prosperity teaching helped me with personal adversities. However as I grew in my walk, I realized it wasn’t truly biblical. But for that person who hasn’t found god as of yet or needs help with their faith, you may have to start somewhere even if it’s a bit off track because if you push through honestly , my faith has it that you will find yourself on the narrow path. (At least I hope) but that’s why i watch teachers such as himself, Vernon Ashe, and Paul washer who could be more firm than myself. Thanks my brother in the lord !!

[@linvictor99]

Maybe my English is not good. I didn't hear him saying he had the power to heal the sicks. What I heard is he had fear in mind, but he knew Jesus was with him, he expected Jesus healed and Jesus did. I believe he was well aware of Jesus heals not Francis heals.

The Gospel is not about performing miracles or healings. It is about for God's glory He tore apart and bled out the body of the Son to appease the wrath that we deserved in order to reconcile mankind with God. That is the entire Gospel. It is not about avoiding pain and suffering and poverty.

[@beepeejayj865]

DefenderoftheCross I agree that the gospel is not solely about miracles and healings, but it plays a huge part of it. Jesus was constantly performing miracles and healings along with preaching the gospel of the kingdom. His disciples did the same, as the name disciple suggests. It is written that if we believe we would do even greater things. We are disciples of Jesus and people are still demon possessed, people are still bound by darkness. We are called to walk as Jesus walked. How can we do that without the full power of the Holy Spirit?

[@rhemaakinola44]

Francis is actually referring to verse 18 of Luke 8. If you read that portion in context and read it's parallel in Matthew 13:10-12, I think it's quite clear that the devil is NOT the one taking away. Francis is right on that one!

[@gleeweewee]

@@rhemaakinola44 Can you teach me why? I read the Matthew verses as well (sounds like election?). I know the devil's characteristic as a thief is noted in John 10:10 and other places. I also know the parables where the minna and talents are taken away. This one is hard.

[@lynwattam]

Here’s what I think (for what it’s worth). I agree with Chan that Jesus is saying that it is God who takes away in this passage. That is judgment. Where I disagree with Chan is that he seems to turn this very contextual 1st century teaching of Jesus into a timeless, context-less aphorism. I tend to shy away from that. A lot of what Jesus says isn’t ‘timeless, context-less aphorism’ - a lot of what Jesus says really only makes sense in his 1st century, pre-70 AD, Judean-Galilean prophetic ministry that he was engaged in. I think Luke 8:18 fits that description. Essentially, I think Jesus is speaking prophetically to the covenant people Israel before the judgment of the fall of Jerusalem in AD 70 (which Jesus referred to and warned about many times). Jesus has been announcing the arrival of the kingdom through the parables in Luke 8 and elsewhere. The Old Testament promised that a remnant (and not all) from Israel will experience the new covenant salvation their God had promised them. It seems that Jesus saw his parables as a means of the true Israel-remnant emerging into the new covenant salvation and the kingdom he was offering. For those 1st century Jews who heard with ears, they began to be drawn into the kingdom (and became the remnant who would receive the promises). Those who didn’t hear with ears missed the kingdom, and essentially would lose their standing as covenant people (culminating in the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD). These are those who “think they have” but then what they have “will be taken away.” In short, it could be phrased like this: “Take care then how you (covenant Israel) hear, for to the one who has (the Jew who HAS an understanding of the parable), more will be given (aka: the kingdom will be given them, because by their understanding, they show they are the remnant who will receive the covenant promises)). And from the one who has not (the Jewish leaders in particular, but unbelieving Jews generally, who did not understand or accept Jesus’ parables or kingdom announcement), even what he thinks he has will be taken away (the Jewish leaders will find their covenant status that they think they have taken from them entirely, as seen in the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD…at Jesus’ time, they do genuinely ‘have’ something in terms of covenant status and kingdom-ownership, but in their rejection of Jesus, Israel’s God will take that position away - judgment).

Chan preached while he was a student at The Master's College. And the message was basically the same kind of message we hear him preach again and again today. He talked about how he went to downtown LA and bought lunch for a homeless guy and how that's what we should all be doing. It was clear Chan was gifted and had a lot to offer as a preacher. TMC (TMU now) can be a very insular place. The same is true with the church. However, I notice that his messages are consistently about feeling "uncomfortable". He pumps up this message of being uncomfortable so much that it becomes an idol. But here there is very little actual teaching from the Bible. I mourn for this because I know the education which has been poured into him. Advertising healings is no substitute for Bible teaching. Additionally, he knows better than partnering with prosperity gospel faith healers. But since it's *uncomfortable* he portrays it as a good thing. He knows better than partnering with Catholics. But it's *uncomfortable* and, since few conservative evangelicals are doing it, that makes it right. The truth is, without sincere, dedicated Christians who have been discipled and taught by faithful teachers who avoid the prosperity gospel and won't partner with Catholics...without those people, Chan has no audience. He is constantly representing himself as one of these people; but pushing them to do things that make them uncomfortable, rather than just living out your faith consistently, day in, day out. I'm so repulsed by this theme of his, because *becoming uncomfortable* has become an idol to him and many others who listen to him. It's not about how you feel. Sometimes following Christ makes you do things that are uncomfortable; sometimes you do things to follow Christ that are extremely fulfilling and comfortable because you have God's law written on your heart and obedience satisfies that longing of our heart. Regardless, what matters is whether you are faithful to Jesus, keeping his word, and obeying his teaching. It's time for us to give up on the emotional rollercoasters and serve Christ daily.

I heard today that Francis Chan said he didn't realize that for the first 1500 years of Christianity, Christians believed the Holy Eucharist to actually be the body, and blood of Jesus. It was an invention of only 500 years ago that someone thought it was only a"symbol".

Holy Spiritual Practices people like to point to Constantine about stuff he had nothing to do with. Read the church fathers. Do a close study of The Eucharist in the bible and baptism for that matter. Start with John 6 for the Eucharist. If it is just merely a symbol why did Jesus let many of his disciples leave when they took him literally. Wouldn’t he have called them back o r corrected their misunderstanding? Paul says some of the people in Corinth were sick and even died due to irreverence of the body and blood of Christ. Would a mere symbol have any such effect? When the disciples broke bread with Jesus on the road to Emmaus, their eyes were opened to Jesus. Mere symbol? Paul says is it not a participation in the body and blood of Christ? Look closer. Take up and read! Take up and read!

[@deandreross4745]

This actually sounds biblical here’s why: I don’t think miracles can’t happen anymore because when we read the scriptures .. no oneeeeeeee in those countries in AD 33 and so on knew nothing. Jesus literally just resurrected, they believed in Greek Gods and other pagan God’s so they performed miracles by God. Same when Jesus said He did them so they’d believe. With that being said, he was in a country where that would have to happen for them to believe, because if we dive in- Christianity isn’t blind faith. AT ALL! I believe. Now if he was lying does that change my faith .. no. It would just mean he’s a liar. I come in peace family.

Given the scope of issues in our country, world, and evangelicalism, I could leave Francis Chan alone, but if you are interested in thinking carefully about these issues, and since Chan is the highest best-selling author who is or was a pastor besides perhaps Rick Warren and Joel Osteen, and I keep hearing his story-telling at events like Azusa Pacific Chapel in November, and now in January at the Send Conference in Brazil, Moody Founders' Week, and the Alpha Conference, about his claims of being used to heal people in Myanmar and therefore he is moving to Hong Kong, I will say that I wish he would either (a) move to Myanmar and learn the language and culture there and minister with the Christians and missionaries already there, or (b) move to Hong Kong and minister there with the churches and missionaries there. I worry about his speaking and writing drawing on his personal experiences. Ten years I reported on him quitting his megachurch to go into obscurity. www.christianitytoday.com/.../mayweb.../28-41.0.html Here is a selection from a response from a missionary in Myanmar, Breanna Randall: "When I moved to Myanmar, I wanted very badly to start something cool, like a community health ministry, write some teaching materials, or help plant a church . . . My husband, Jim, who has now lived here for nearly 14 years." She compares what Chan said to Myanmar pastors as compared to what Chan is saying about Myanmar in the US. faithfullymagazine.com/myanmar-francis-chan.../ And here is her later tweet thread about the miracles: threadreaderapp.com/.../1228246195409018882.html... "Easy steps to performing your first healing: 1) go to a place where you don't speak the language. 2) make sure that the only people who come to you for healing have an invisible disability. 3) make sure you have a translator who has prepped the community for your visit ... Chan's initiative here is partnered with YWAM and Antioch church. They have a five year plan for flooding Myanmar with their brand of good news. I have yet to hear anything about it that sounds healthy or even well-thought out. They're apparently coming to work with the Myanmar church, but get this: their latest official meeting was held in English, with NO translators present. A Burmese-speaking friend was invited to attend and couldn't understand anything because the meeting was not held in Burmese. Another friend shook her head after attending the same meeting, saying, 'what happens is that the only Myanmar church people who will end up getting involved with this project are the ones who speak English.'"

And even if it were real, God has to be begged and pleaded to for people to get healed? And even that's not a guarantee, because it only "works" some of the times? That is disgusting.
