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

In essence, we are reconciled to reconcile.
Matt Chandler
There isn’t a violent soul on the planet that God might not save and transform for himself.
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
I have always deeply desired to be an honest man who said it when I struggled, stumbled and worried. I longed to be a man with real friends - friends who knew me at my worst and loved me.
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
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 heart of our problem is the problem of our hearts.
Matt Chandler
Intellectual ascent to correct doctrine is not salvation
Matt Chandler
Men of God are those who walk in the fear of the Lord.
Matt Chandler
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
Heaven is not a place for those who are afraid of hell it’s a place for those who love God.
Matt Chandler
Where your delight is, the rest of your world is going to follow.
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
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'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 depth, width, ferocity, and immensity of God is seen most spectacularly in the gospel of Jesus Christ.
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
We carry an insidious prosperity gospel around in our dark, little, entitled hearts.
Matt Chandler
The great message that we call the gospel begins, then, not with us, or our need, or even the meeting of that need, but with the writer of the news and the sender of its heralds: God himself.
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.
