Worship is the way of life for those entranced by and passionate for the glory of God.

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.

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

Because a God who is ultimately most focused on his own glory will be about the business of restoring us, who are all broken images of him. His glory demands it. So we should be thankful for a self-sufficient God whose self-regard is glorious.

Why do we try so hard to make Jesus cool?! He doesn’t need a makeover.

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

Love says: I've seen the ugly parts of you, and I'm staying. Our culture doesn't love love It loves the idea of love. It wants the emotion without the sacrifice.

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.

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.

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.

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
