Francis Chan made Ravi Zacharias cry

what I like about Francis his passion makes me feel like I'm sliding into oblivion he is like a conductor in the whole world is as Orchestra lover absolutely love it I used to be like that then I got older yeah yeah when I look at what what is written in John you know Jesus says a new commandment I give to you that you love one another just as I have loved you you also are to love one another by this all people will know that you are my disciples if you have love for one another and so at the love in that passage anyway is talking about this about it's it's it's true that like the people in the world if I confront any type of sin in their life they would see that as unloving there's there's nothing you there's nothing we can do about that that's just the way they have redefined love but what we can control is in the church that we are honest with one another but he says the way that they're going to know that that you're my disciples is is this and this is where we're losing it you know you talk about the other countries that are you know dividing in their different denominations and believers at each other's throats which I've seen also but gosh are we known for our love for one another and what are what are we doing right now to pursue this oneness that Christ wants of us I said this at the luncheon earlier man I love this man the first time we met I don't even remember when it was but I remember just maybe it wasn't the very first time but I remember just one time because okay I'm not an apologist at most you guys know that okay I'm just I've tried you know it's like my mind goes so far in and so I need brothers like this so badly you know it used to be back in the 90s when a pastor felt like he just had to be everything I got to know more than everyone else but but now it's just like okay I just can't I can't do it or I'm not gonna be the best Bible teacher or the best scholar and the best counselor and the best leader and the best apologist so I need this but a lot of times when I when I encounter someone who is a scholar I get intimidated I think a lot of us do we just feel stupid right and and usually they'll tell us why we are stupid you know and I knew it I knew it you just proved it to me I already knew that tell me something I don't know and so but I remember you know one of the times Robby you know I might have been our first time meeting and that we were both gonna speak in an event and he just comes up to me and just hugs me and tells me how much he loves me and thanks God I think he just started praying God it is such an honor to share the stage with this man Francis I am so honored to be on the same do you know what that does for a person who's already feeling insecure and everything else and then him saying no I'm honored to be with you your contribution to the body of Christ like a father like love it was so foreign to me to be loved by a scholar seriously and valued by one now the fact that that feels so foreign is an indictment of where we're at and I get it and I want to be the first to apologize like I can get so fired up about my thing that it may seem like I'm mad at you I'm not okay I just get fired up about stuff and I I get bothered when I know how much people are suffering around the world and I think about people who've never heard the gospel and and sometimes in my zeal for something I forget that my number one call is to love you deeply like for this oneness and and the Bible saying when that happens in the church urghhh that's when the world's going to know that we're his disciples and that's all we need to fight for [Applause]
