More quotes by Matt Chandler
Every missionary I know is extraordinarily ordinary. Everything they do, they do by the grace of God.
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
What stirs up in my heart is, 'Oh would we see an outpouring of the Holy Spirit.'
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
In essence, we are reconciled to reconcile.
Matt Chandler
We can never grasp the extent of our depravity until we recognize the excellencies of our created dignity
Matt Chandler
Many of the things that stifle growth are morally neutral. They're not bad things. Facebook is not bad. Television and movies are not bad. I enjoy TV, but it doesn't take long for me to begin to find humorous on TV what the Lord finds heartbreaking.
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
A Church worshipping as a Creature of the Word doesn't show up to perform or be entertained she comes desperate and needy, thirsty for grace, receiving from The Lord and the body of Christ, and then gratefully receiving what she needs as she offers her praise- the only proper response to the God who saves us.
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
Grace does not make sin safe. But grace does make sinners safe.
Matt Chandler
Without a heart transformed by the grace of Christ, we just continue to manage external and internal darkness.
Matt Chandler
You're exhausted in the faith because you're looking at you. The more you look at yourself and the less you look at God, the more you get frustrated at yourself.
Matt Chandler
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.
Matt Chandler
There isn’t a violent soul on the planet that God might not save and transform for himself.
Matt Chandler
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.
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
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
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.
Matt Chandler
The single most loving act we can do is share the good news of Jesus Christ, that God saves sinners.
