3. It’s not about failure, it’s about obedience.

This is not arrogance. This is grace.
This is not egomania. This is love.
~ John Piper

5. Is your passion real or fake?

Pray that you would no longer merely love Him through your religious actions, but with the passion befitting a person in love.

Fantastic quotes, especially Francis Chan's. I finished Chan's book Crazy Love a few months ago; boy oh boy, was that encouraging and convicting!
Erik,
Yes, "Crazy Love" was especially convicting to me, too. I've got Chan's next book "Forgotten God" on my nightstand to start soon...
