You and I are stymied in our own creativity. We can only create as sub-creators, and even then our best work is only sub-creation.

More often than not, we want him to have fairy wings and spread fairy dust and shine like a precious little star, dispensing nothing but good times on everyone, like some kind of hybrid of Tinker Bell and Aladdin’s Genie.

This avoidance of the difficult things of Scripture — of sinfulness and hell and God’s notable severity — is idolatrous and cowardly. If a man or a woman who teaches the Scriptures is afraid to explain to you the severity of God, they have betrayed you, and they love their ego more than they love you.

Jesus doesn't avoid those who mess up. Jesus runs to those who mess up.

Image
Without a heart transformed by the grace of Christ, we just continue to manage external and internal darkness.
Matt Chandler
Image
Men of God are those who walk in the fear of the Lord.
Matt Chandler
Image
If you add to or subtract from the cross, even if it is to factor in biblically mandated religious practices like prayer and evangelism, you rob God of His glory and Christ of His sufficiency.
