Quote

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

Have you read your Bible or has the Bible read you?

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.

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.

There's a strong victim mentality in my generation. I think it's spiritual laziness. They will agree that God is sovereign over all, but then they will say, Well, I wish he would sovereignly take away my lust issue. There's just not a lot of fortitude, not a lot of fight in them.

Grace-driven effort wants to get to the bottom of behavior, not just manage behavior. If you're simply managing behavior but not removing the roots of that behavior, then the weeds simply sprout up in another place.

If we could understand how impossible our situation is, we would grow in reverence for the kingship of Christ.

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.
Matt Chandler

God is awesome he doesn’t need you to be awesome. He wants you to be obedient.

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.

Every missionary I know is extraordinarily ordinary. Everything they do, they do by the grace of God.
Matt Chandler
Image
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
Image
God does not regret saving you. There is no sin which you commit which is beyond the cross of Christ.

Stop going to church everywhere and start belonging to church somewhere.
