No this is not at all what the scripture means. What you are meaning by saying we must decrease is God must kill us essentially.. or in other words Lord, get rid of everything that’s me, because I believe You can only be glorified in me if I don’t really exist. If You can just get rid of me, then You will somehow be able to glorify Yourself in me.” But what that verse actually means is this.. When John said “He must increase, but I must decrease,” he was talking about the fact that the Law was being fulfilled, and the new day of the Jesus’ Kingdom was dawning. Read a bit into that scripture and what's said before and after and you'll get the real meaning of what that means. But we should never decrease... That's just silly, I'm sure the devil would love that. We need to increase as a child of God, knowing our identity in Christ! Romans 8:19 says 'For [even the whole] creation (all nature) waits expectantly andlongs earnestly for God's sons to be made known [waits for the revealing, the disclosing of their sonship].' So the Earth is actually a waiting for the sons of God to be made known... Now how can that happen if we decrease? understanding this verse as we must decrease so he can increase so demonic and twisted. And most people only say it because they've hurt others say it. But if you actually read the verse it says something totally different if you read what was before and stop taking it out of context..

@we thepeople We cannot judge or condemn. Only God can do that however, we are to examine everything and retain what is good. If we notice someone who is not being a blessing to us, we have the right to rejected. Maybe Osteen is a blessing to you, but he is not for other people. Christians have opinions as well. Just because we are called to love each other, it does not mean that we should be complicit towards their rhetoric. The Bible says that because of the lack of knowledge, His people will perish. Some pastors want to preach a watered down version of Jesus. Some of us can see it and some of us don't. Regardless, we have the right to our opinion without having people like you telling us we are judging. Study the Word and don't pick and choose verses to fit your narrative. Thank you!

This makes me think of Christmas cards. Remember when we sent cards to glorify God...share the spirit of the Lord? Now, we get pictures of people and all they've accomplished in the year. Makes me crazy! We are literally removing Christ from Christmas.

100% true...We have to be accountable to the word of God. Instead of reaching for the phone in the morning we should be reaching for the bible. The words of Life. "Remember Gods thoughts are not our thoughts and His thinking is not our thinking..He brings you the word to help uncover the veil of truth in a disciplined manner..Meditation and careful thought exercise us and strengthen us for the reception of the yet more lofty truths..our Lord puts up truths in lofty places to work at obtaining it and letting it nurture our souls.. The word becomes our medicine our armor You must labor to understand the word and pray to God to help." -CS-

Thank you!

I believe there’s an absolute season to look at self in order to identify our weaknesses and also to recieve healing.. especially when we’re broken from abuse etc... but this can’t go on forever it has to lead to a place of where we eventually switch focus and we encourage, teach and lead others to Christ out of our experiences 🙏🏽

Just watch this today while working at home @2 AM, my take away is on Exodus 19:9-20,this is true, its not enough that we just go to church every sundays but we need to have a personal solitude with the Lord, we need to go to the mountaintop and not just wait for Moses to tell us what God told him. God is all powerful, we matter to him and he wants us to know him more, love him more and trust in his promises.

Selfies aren't evil, I dont think that's his main goal either. It's a me focused ideology. I think looking at yourself knowing that you are ugly brings you to Christ and knowing that anything beauty in you comes from the responses to God's saving grace it's clear that you are beautiful but that's because God is beautiful not cuz we are independently so. Also it's good to deny yourself but I feel we need to understand what it is we deny ourselves of. Acts that take you away from Christ even if they are not inherently sinful must be denyed by you. All sin must be denyed and our flesh love sin and the witod says sin is the only way to live a good life but we must deny ourselves. If what we do causes others to stumble even if it's not sinful inherently, we deny ourselves. We kill our flesh and instead look at what God has done for us to us and in us. My opinion may change since this is only my take and considering how seasoned Francis Chan is in Christ who am I to say. Maybe I'm misunderstanding him and instead getting stuck on the details. But I pray God continues to use Francis Chan for the glory of God and benefit of everyone. May God continue to bless people through him and draw others to Christ.

I love the way Francis talks heaps about really seeing God and how worthy He is as the underlying value of life, and every fruit that springs from that will be wonderful, cos it’s the way we were made to live. But I’d add this; if we don’t face our past, or the current rotten fruit in our lives, and invite Jesus into those places, we will not become healthy Christians. In order to see God’s worthiness and glory, we often need to see His responses to us! To our crap, to our personality, to our “good”. And we need to ask what He’s doing when He shows us Himself. Each of these moments builds the relationship’s depth. So we really see how worthy He is. And that revelation of His nature - His worthiness - is what produces incredible fruit. Do you know what I mean? I agree with Francis, but I’m adding that sometimes seeing yourself (with Jesus) is actually important and not narcissistic. It produces revelation of His awesomeness, and sky rockets our trust levels. Our eyes become captivated by Him because what else could capture our attention after truly experiencing His glorious nature toward us?!
