More quotes by 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
I don't believe in the end that God gave me cancer, but He certainly could have stopped it and didn't.
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
I preach hard against that idea and plead with people to make war against sin. I tell them it's not going to be easy. Some people are meant to wrestle with their sin a long time before God brings them to freedom, but let's wrestle. Let's fight. Let's do something besides just complain.
Matt Chandler
More often than not, we want him to have fairy wings and spread fairy dust and shine like a precious little star, dispensing nothing but good times on everyone, like some kind of hybrid of Tinker Bell and Aladdin’s Genie. But the God of the Bible, this God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, is a pillar of fire and a column of smoke.
Matt Chandler
God doesn't NEED raw material. He MAKES material.
Matt Chandler
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.
Matt Chandler
I'm accepted by God and it has nothing to do with me.
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
We can never grasp the extent of our depravity until we recognize the excellencies of our created dignity
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
Heaven is not a place for those who are afraid of hell it’s a place for those who love God.
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
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 idolatry the exists in a man's heart always wants to lead him away from his Savior and back to self-reliance no matter how pitiful that self-reliance is or how many times it has betrayed him.
Matt Chandler
The reality is that all God has to do is reveal himself to you,and you'll gladly join the mission in service to his kingdom. He doesn't force the issue he just has to reveal himself as is: mighty,wondrous, gracious, loving, and radically saving. No man goes back to saltine crackers when he's had fillet mignon.

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
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 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
God does not regret saving you. There is no sin which you commit which is beyond the cross of Christ.
Matt Chandler
