Favorite Matt Chandler Quotes

1. "The marker of those who understand the gospel of Jesus Christ is that, when they stumble and fall, when they screw up, they run to God and not from him, because they clearly understand that their acceptance before God is not predicated upon their behavior but on the righteous life of Jesus Christ and his sacrificial death." ~ Matt Chandler
2. "The universe shudders in horror that we have this infinitely valuable, infinitely deep, infinitely rich, infinitely wise, infinitely loving God, and instead of pursuing him with steadfast passion and enthralled fury — instead of loving him with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength; instead of attributing to him glory and honor and praise and power and wisdom and strength — we just try to take his toys and run. It is still idolatry to want God for his benefits but not for himself." ~ Matt Chandler
3. "If you're a church person and not a Jesus person, my heart hurts for you. It's like being engaged and never getting married. It's miserable." ~ Matt Chandler
4. "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
5. "Trying to figure out God is like trying to catch a fish in the Pacific Ocean with an inch of dental floss." ~ Matt Chandler
6. "Your approval before God is woven into the life and sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross, not what other men and women think about you." ~ Matt Chandler
7. "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
8. "As you consider selecting songs for your worship services, consider them in light of the truth of the gospel. Imagine the songs as teachers--because they are! If your people could understand your doctrine only through the music you sing, what would they know about God and His pursuit of us? If your people could understand your church's beliefs only through the music, what would they know?" ~ Matt Chandler
9. "A schoolmate of Matt Chandler's with the locker next to his: "I need to tell you about Jesus. When do you want to do that?" ~ Matt Chandler
10. "We are supernaturalists first, not naturalists. The only reason we feel compelled to accommodate science is that science says we ought to. But it is science that should accommodate revelation. Revelation has been around much longer." ~ Matt Chandler
11. "Choosing one thing over another doesn't necessarily mean we love the thing we choose. If given the choice to eat spinach or broccoli, you may choose broccoli. It may only mean you don't want to eat spinach. Heaven is not for people who just want to skip Hell. Heaven is reserved for those who love Jesus, who have been rescued by Him and who long to praise Him. If someone doesn't have much use for praising Him now, it's foolish to think they're ready for Heaven." ~ Matt Chandler
12. "We don't want a life-sized salvation; rather, we want an eternity-sized salvation." ~ Matt Chandler
13. "Thanksgiving is worry's kryptonite." ~ Matt Chandler
14. "The best of our best, without Jesus, looks like a pile of crap compared to Him." ~ Matt Chandler
15. "And so creation itself is eagerly watching the sons and daughters of the King, waiting for the last one to come into the kingdom so that the rocks and trees can be set free." ~ Matt Chandler
16. "Ladies, if you're single there is nothing wrong, sinful or wicked about desiring a husband, nothing. Anyone who would say otherwise is absolutely lying to you. God wired you for it, He built you for it. Men, there is nothing wrong, wicked, or evil about wanting a wife. I don't know when that happened, I don't, now listen I do think that you need to be content where you are today, alright, but listen I'm content with what Christ is doing in me today but I don't want to be who I am today, I'm hoping Christ will complete what He began. It's okay, it's alright, who made it so complicated? it's okay, it's okay to want a wife, it's okay to want a husband, those are good things, they're really good things. It's okay, it's okay to want." ~ Matt Chandler
17. "It's so much more than a child's story. - Matt Chandler on LIFE Today." ~ Matt Chandler
18. "God doesn't NEED raw material. He MAKES material." ~ Matt Chandler
19. "Worship gatherings are not always spectacular, but they are always supernatural. And if a church looks for or works for the spectacular, she may miss the supernatural. If a person enters a gathering to be wowed with something impressive, with a style that fits him just right, with an order of service and song selection designed just the right way, that person may miss the supernatural presence of God. Worship is supernatural whenever people come hungry to respond, react, and receive from God for who He is and what He has done. 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
20. "God ultimately raises up leaders for one primary reason: His glory. He shows His power in our weakness. He demonstrates His wisdom in our folly. We are all like a turtle on a fence post. If you walk by a fence post and see a turtle on top of it, then you know someone came by and put it there. In the same way, God gives leadership according to His good pleasure." ~ Matt Chandler
21. "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
22. "I want every one of our members to grow into maturity more quickly than they seem to, but the Lord has taught me to shepherd people, call them to repentance and let Matthew 18:12­–14 play out." ~ Matt Chandler
23. "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
24. "Without a heart transformed by the grace of Christ, we just continue to manage external and internal darkness." ~ Matt Chandler
25. "Love says: I've seen the ugly parts of you, and I'm staying." ~ Matt Chandler
