“Truth is never our enemy, ever. So we should never freak out about people who claim to have discovered truth. If it's true truth, God owns it and has already accounted for it, and while nothing that is true ever contradicts God's revealed word in the Bible, discovered truth sometimes contradicts the words of Christians. We shouldn't be afraid of this, because God knew it before anybody else and its discovery is dependent on his sovereignty anyway. The truth is that the truth is ours - all truth is our truth because we are of Christ and Christ is of the sovereign God.” PeopleIfsShouldSometimesChristianChristEnemyTruth IsDiscoveryClaimsDependentFreakSovereignSovereignty Author:Matt Chandler
“So relational evangelism? Go for it, as long as it turns into real evangelism. You hanging out having a beer with your buddy so he can see that Christians are cool is not what we’re called to do. You’re eventually going to have to open up your mouth and share the gospel. When the pure gospel is shared, people respond.” PeopleLongRealChristianTurnsSharePureMouthsBeerHanging OutBuddyEvangelism Author:Matt Chandler
“Find the things that stir your affections for Christ and saturate your life in them. Find the things that rob you of that affection and walk away from them. That's the Christian life as easy as I can explain it for you.” I CanChristianEasyChristWalksAffectionChristian Life Author: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.” IfsKnowsLongStillsEnoughRealityChristianLife IsLyingDifficultHurtSituationCryReality Of LifeBehaviourDifficult Situations Author:Matt Chandler
“Lots of neat Christian boys, not a lot of Godly men. And we are working our tails off for you to try to develop some into that. But do not settle, because it's better that you be lonely now than you be married and lonely later. Are you tracking me? It is better that you be lonely now than for you to get married to a man that will teach your kids everything but the way of Jesus.” MenWayTryingKidsChristianJesusBoysTeachMarriedLonelySettlingTailsGodlyBeing MarriedNeatTrackingGodly Man Author:Matt Chandler
