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 quotes by Matt Chandler
God's response to the belittlement of his name, from the beginning of time, has been the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on a Roman cross.
Matt Chandler
We carry an insidious prosperity gospel around in our dark, little, entitled hearts.
Matt Chandler
No one can out-sin the cross of Christ.
Matt Chandler
Apart from worshiping God, everything becomes superficial. But when you understand the driving force behind everything, all of a sudden there's an eternal amount of joy at our disposal, because everything we do is enlightened and enlivened by the endless glory of the eternal God.
Matt Chandler
Every missionary I know is extraordinarily ordinary. Everything they do, they do by the grace of God.
Matt Chandler
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.
Matt Chandler
You're exhausted in the faith because you're looking at you. The more you look at yourself and the less you look at God, the more you get frustrated at yourself.
Matt Chandler
We can never grasp the extent of our depravity until we recognize the excellencies of our created dignity
Matt Chandler
What drives me mad in evangelical circles, including some young Reformed circles, is that there is often a sit-on-the-couch-and-wait-for-God-to-do-something mentality that is unbiblical and wicked. It's probably been true of every generation, but I can see it most clearly in the younger crowd. There seems to be so little war when it comes to sin.
Matt Chandler
Everybody knows something's broken in the world. But illogically, foolishly, we are looking for fixes from broken people with broken ideas in broken places.
Matt Chandler
We spend so much time trying to put send to death that we don't spend enough time striving to know God deeply, trying to gaze upon the wonder of Jesus Christ and have that transform our affections to the point where our love and hope are steadfastly on Christ.
Matt Chandler
The idolatry the exists in a man's heart always wants to lead him away from his Savior and back to self-reliance no matter how pitiful that self-reliance is or how many times it has betrayed him.
Matt Chandler
Our senses are never more awakened to our need for His love than when our need is most exposed.
Matt Chandler
The depth, width, ferocity, and immensity of God is seen most spectacularly in the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Matt Chandler
I've discovered most Christians don't know what to do with difficult situations because they have bought into the lie that God owes us (for our good behaviour). The reality of life is that if you live long enough you are going to bleed, cry and hurt. AND God is still God IN that.
Matt Chandler
A Church worshipping as a Creature of the Word doesn't show up to perform or be entertained she comes desperate and needy, thirsty for grace, receiving from The Lord and the body of Christ, and then gratefully receiving what she needs as she offers her praise- the only proper response to the God who saves us.
Matt Chandler
Truly, God's plan of redemption is about more than me and you and our neighbor down the street. It's about men and women from every tribe, tongue, and nation on earth becoming a part of His covenant community.
Matt Chandler
I was used to being the smartest guy in the room, and then God dropped me in a place that was well beyond me. It was painfully awesome.
Matt Chandler
The reconciling gospel is always at the forefront of the church’s social action, because a full belly is not better than a reconciled soul.
Matt Chandler
Intellectual ascent to correct doctrine is not salvation
