Welcome to the Crazy Love Podcast.

It can be argued that one of the greatest problems plaguing our churches today is pride

and narcissism.

Second Timothy tells us that in the last days, people will be lovers of self and lovers

of money, boastful, arrogant and abusive, which would take away from the command to love

and serve others.

In this week's episode, Francis Chan encourages us through Philippians 2 and reminds us how

all satisfying it is to gaze at the beauty of God instead of staring at ourselves.

So we pray that this episode would move your eyes away from yourself and onto the magnificent

beauty of Christ and bring him worship.

It is so good to be with you.

This is my second time to the Philippines, second time to Manila.

The first time I only stayed for like a day, this time I got here and I've been here

long enough to learn some things about your culture.

Probably the most notable.

The last time I came, the only thing I remembered was the traffic.

This time, what stuck out to me is I have never taken so many selfies in my life.

Everyone is coming up to me asking if they can take a selfie.

I've never seen this anywhere.

In fact, some of you are probably going nuts right now because you can't take a selfie.

So I encourage you.

Everyone take out your phone for a second.
