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!’
Matt Chandler
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.

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

What stirs up in my heart is, 'Oh would we see an outpouring of the Holy Spirit.'

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.

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

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.

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.

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
Image
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.

God does not regret saving you. There is no sin which you commit which is beyond the cross of Christ.

The heart of our problem is the problem of our hearts.

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.

Some people are so moral they feel like they have no need for Jesus. True worshippers know they are in deep need of Jesus Christ and are transformed morally by beholding Jesus and seeing their lives transformed by the Spirit's power from the inside out rather than conformed to a pattern of religion from the outside in.

Progress stems from education, culture, freedom and equality. Without these fundamentals, mankind will flounder.

The cross of Christ is the response of God to men for belittling His name.

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

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

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

I believe the sovereign God of the universe justifies us freely, and then we are called to run with him in sanctification.
