Quote

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.

Grace does not make sin safe. But grace does make sinners safe.

No one can out-sin the cross of Christ.

While the good news of the gospel may not appeal to everyone, the bad news of the gospel still applies to everyone.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

I believe the sovereign God of the universe justifies us freely, and then we are called to run with him in sanctification.

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 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.

What stirs up in my heart is, 'Oh would we see an outpouring of the Holy Spirit.'

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.

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

God doesn't NEED raw material. He MAKES material.

Heaven is not a place for those who are afraid of hell it’s a place for those who love God.
Matt Chandler
Image
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.

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!’

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

I don't believe in the end that God gave me cancer, but He certainly could have stopped it and didn't.
