Comfort is the god of our generation, so suffering is seen as a problem to be solved, and not a providence from God.

More quotes by Matt Chandler
The heart of our problem is the problem of our hearts.
Matt Chandler
Faith doesn’t mean an absence of fear. It means facing fear and trusting that God’s goodness is greater.
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
There isn’t a violent soul on the planet that God might not save and transform for himself.
Matt Chandler
The reality is that all God has to do is reveal himself to you,and you'll gladly join the mission in service to his kingdom. He doesn't force the issue he just has to reveal himself as is: mighty,wondrous, gracious, loving, and radically saving. No man goes back to saltine crackers when he's had fillet mignon.
Matt Chandler
Truth is to be used as a scalpel, not a club.
Matt Chandler
When God saves you, he doesn’t do it because you gave him permission. He did it because he’s God.

There isn’t a violent soul on the planet that God might not save and transform for himself.

The depth, width, ferocity, and immensity of God is seen most spectacularly in the gospel of Jesus 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
Stop going to church everywhere and start belonging to church somewhere.
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
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
When we see the bankruptcy, slavery, and vanity of everything else, we can finally say, ‘To die is gain.’
Matt Chandler
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.
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.

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
He can heal me. I believe He will. I believe I'm going to be an old surely Baptist preacher. And even if He doesn't...that's the thing: I've read Philippians 1. I know what Paul says. I'm here let's work, if I go home? That's better. I understand that.
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.
