More quotes by Matt Chandler
The spiritual power in the gospel is denied when we augment or adjusting gospel into no gospel at all. When we doubt the message alone is the power of God for salvation we start adding or subtracting, trusting our own powers of persuasion or presentation.
Matt Chandler
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.
Matt Chandler
Love says: I've seen the ugly parts of you, and I'm staying. Our culture doesn't love love It loves the idea of love. It wants the emotion without the sacrifice.
Matt Chandler
Heaven is not a place for those who are afraid of hell it’s a place for those who love God.
Matt Chandler
Truth is to be used as a scalpel, not a club.
Matt Chandler
When we join God in his plan for his global glory, we get to be a part of the cosmic take-your-kid-t o-work day.
Matt Chandler
The commands of God are given, not to rob me of joy, but lead me into the fullness of joy.
Matt Chandler
Why do we try so hard to make Jesus cool?! He doesn’t need a makeover.
Matt Chandler
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
Matt Chandler
The Christian views trials as a pathway to maturity.
Matt Chandler
Our goal is transformed hearts that lead to transformed lives. Transformed lives do not lead to transformed hearts. Are you trackin' with that?
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
God doesn't NEED raw material. He MAKES material.
Matt Chandler
God is more interested in declaring than explaining.
Matt Chandler
Because a God who is ultimately most focused on his own glory will be about the business of restoring us, who are all broken images of him. His glory demands it. So we should be thankful for a self-sufficient God whose self-regard is glorious.
Matt Chandler
In essence, we are reconciled to reconcile.
Matt Chandler
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
Matt Chandler
So relational evangelism? Go for it, as long as it turns into real evangelism. You hanging out having a beer with your buddy so he can see that Christians are cool is not what we’re called to do. You’re eventually going to have to open up your mouth and share the gospel. When the pure gospel is shared, people respond.
Matt Chandler
Progress stems from education, culture, freedom and equality. Without these fundamentals, mankind will flounder.
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.
