Image
The depth, width, ferocity, and immensity of God is seen most spectacularly in the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Matt Chandler
Image
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.
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.
Matt Chandler
Image
God doesn't NEED raw material. He MAKES material.

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.

We can never grasp the extent of our depravity until we recognize the excellencies of our created dignity
Matt Chandler
Image
Our goal is transformed hearts that lead to transformed lives. Transformed lives do not lead to transformed hearts. Are you trackin' with that?
Matt Chandler
Image
Heaven is not a place for those who are afraid of hell it’s a place for those who love God.
Matt Chandler
Image
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
Image
Grace does not make sin safe. But grace does make sinners safe.
Matt Chandler
Image
Without a heart transformed by the grace of Christ, we just continue to manage external and internal darkness.
Matt Chandler
Image
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
Image
We’ve been given the covenant community because we need each other, and together we’ll be more mature, experience more life, and know more joy than we ever would apart from one another.
Matt Chandler
Image
I believe the sovereign God of the universe justifies us freely, and then we are called to run with him in sanctification.
Matt Chandler
Image
Faith doesn’t mean an absence of fear. It means facing fear and trusting that God’s goodness is greater.
Matt Chandler
Image
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.

Intellectual ascent to correct doctrine is not salvation
Matt Chandler
Image
The single most loving act we can do is share the good news of Jesus Christ, that God saves sinners.
Matt Chandler
Image
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.

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.
