There's a strong victim mentality in my generation. I think it's spiritual laziness. They will agree that God is sovereign over all, but then they will say, Well, I wish he would sovereignly take away my lust issue. There's just not a lot of fortitude, not a lot of fight in them.

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.

We can never grasp the extent of our depravity until we recognize the excellencies of our created dignity
Matt Chandler
Image
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

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 reconciling gospel is always at the forefront of the church’s social action, because a full belly is not better than a reconciled soul.

Have you read your Bible or has the Bible read you?
Matt Chandler

Jesus doesn't avoid those who mess up. Jesus runs to those who mess up.
