We’ve been given the covenant community because we need each other, and together we’ll be more mature, experience more life, and know more joy than we ever would apart from one another.

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.

Image
If we confuse the gospel with response to the gospel, we will drift from what keeps the gospel on the ground, what makes it clear and personal, and the next thing you know, we will be doing a bunch of different things that actually obscure the gospel, not reveal it.

Every missionary I know is extraordinarily ordinary. Everything they do, they do by the grace of God.

Grace does not make sin safe. But grace does make sinners safe.

We carry an insidious prosperity gospel around in our dark, little, entitled hearts.

We can never grasp the extent of our depravity until we recognize the excellencies of our created dignity

We carry an insidious prosperity gospel around in our dark, little, entitled hearts.

The cross of Christ exists because mankind-loved by God, created by God, set in motion by God-betrayed God and prefers his stuff to him.

The single most loving act we can do is share the good news of Jesus Christ, that God saves sinners.

Church of Jesus, let us please be men and women who understand the difference between moralism and the gospel of Jesus Christ. Let’s be careful to preach the dos and don’ts of Scripture in the shadow of the cross’s ‘Done!’

Image
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.

Find the things that stir your affections for Christ and saturate your life in them. Find the things that rob you of that affection and walk away from them. That's the Christian life as easy as I can explain it for you.
Matt Chandler
Image
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.

While the good news of the gospel may not appeal to everyone, the bad news of the gospel still applies to everyone.

Jesus doesn't need you to make him palatable...he needs you to be faithful.
Matt Chandler
Image
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
Image
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.

The Christian views trials as a pathway to maturity.

Image
I'm wise to be a good steward, but I'll never be my own rescuer. The worth thing you can do with fear and anxiety is to pretend you're too strong to have them. The best thing you can do is just to let Him be in charge of them
