OPINION (CBN News) – Evangelist Francis Chan told pastors this week they must set aside their own personal agendas and allow Jesus to lead their churches. Chan spoke at the Exponential Conference Tuesday at First Baptist in Orlando, Florida, the Christian Post reports. “I realize that a lot of times I don’t act like He’s the head of the Church,” Chan admitted. “I don’t act like I’m just like an arm. And I don’t really humble myself, ‘Lord, You’re the head of the Church. What do You want me to do?’ The arm doesn’t do anything unless the head tells him to do it.”
“If it was up to this mind to build a church, if it was up to this mind to keep a church together, Lord I’ll just create something that this mind wants. And what I like, what I enjoy. God, I need you as head over the church. We need You as head over the church,” he said. The evangelist warned against the dangers of making church like a “wave pool” at a water park – fun, but “so different from real surfing.” READ MORE
