More quotes by Matt Chandler
No one can out-sin the cross of Christ.
Matt Chandler
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
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.
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
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.
Matt Chandler
The context of the gospel message is not our benefit or our salvation the context of the gospel is the supremacy of Christ and the glory of God.
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
Grace does not make sin safe. But grace does make sinners safe.
Matt Chandler
The single most loving act we can do is share the good news of Jesus Christ, that God saves sinners.
Matt Chandler
The cross of Christ exists because mankind-loved by God, created by God, set in motion by God-betrayed God and prefers his stuff to him.
Matt Chandler
The general confusion is that our moral behavior is what justifies us before God. Most of us would never say that with our mouths but we feel that lie in our heart and believe it in our minds. You can be morally upright and not be a worshipper of Christ at all.
Matt Chandler
All ministry that is faithful & eventually fruitful finds its roots in the life, death, & resurrection of Jesus Christ.
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
If you add to or subtract from the cross, even if it is to factor in biblically mandated religious practices like prayer and evangelism, you rob God of His glory and Christ of His sufficiency.
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
There isn’t a violent soul on the planet that God might not save and transform for himself.
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 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
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
Intellectual ascent to correct doctrine is not salvation
