Image
God does not regret saving you. There is no sin which you commit which is beyond the cross of Christ.
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
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
The commands of God are given, not to rob me of joy, but lead me into the fullness of joy.
Matt Chandler
Image
In 10,000 years you will not regret anything you didn’t have or do in this life.
Matt Chandler
Image
Where your delight is, the rest of your world is going to follow.
Matt Chandler
Image
Every missionary I know is extraordinarily ordinary. Everything they do, they do by the grace of God.
Matt Chandler
Image
The more you make this world about you, the more miserable you will be.
Matt Chandler
Image
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
Image
We’ve been given the covenant community because we need each other, and together we’ll be more mature, experience more life, and know more joy than we ever would apart from one another.
Matt Chandler
Image
We spend so much time trying to put send to death that we don't spend enough time striving to know God deeply, trying to gaze upon the wonder of Jesus Christ and have that transform our affections to the point where our love and hope are steadfastly on Christ.
Matt Chandler
Image
Apart from worshiping God, everything becomes superficial. But when you understand the driving force behind everything, all of a sudden there's an eternal amount of joy at our disposal, because everything we do is enlightened and enlivened by the endless glory of the eternal God.
Matt Chandler
Image
The heart of our problem is the problem of our hearts.
Matt Chandler
Image
God is more interested in declaring than explaining.
Matt Chandler
Image
Everybody knows something's broken in the world. But illogically, foolishly, we are looking for fixes from broken people with broken ideas in broken places.
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.
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
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.
Matt Chandler
Image
Worship is the way of life for those entranced by and passionate for the glory of God.
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.
