Image
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
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
We can never grasp the extent of our depravity until we recognize the excellencies of our created dignity
Matt Chandler
Image
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
Image
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
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.

Image
I was used to being the smartest guy in the room, and then God dropped me in a place that was well beyond me. It was painfully awesome.
Matt Chandler
Image
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
Image
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
Matt Chandler
Image
In essence, we are reconciled to reconcile.

There isn’t a violent soul on the planet that God might not save and transform for himself.

Image
Where your delight is, the rest of your world is going to follow.
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
Truth is to be used as a scalpel, not a club.
Matt Chandler
Image
It's OK to not be OK - just don't stay there.
Matt Chandler
Image
My sin in the past: forgiven. My current struggles: covered. My future failures: paid in full all by the marvelous, infinite, matchless grace found in the atoning work of the cross of Jesus Christ.
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.

In 10,000 years you will not regret anything you didn’t have or do in this life.
