He can heal me. I believe He will. I believe I'm going to be an old surely Baptist preacher. And even if He doesn't...that's the thing: I've read Philippians 1. I know what Paul says. I'm here let's work, if I go home? That's better. I understand that.
Matt ChandlerYour 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 ChandlerGod does not regret saving you. There is no sin which you commit which is beyond the cross of Christ.
Matt ChandlerComfort is the god of our generation, so suffering is seen as a problem to be solved, and not a providence from God.
Matt ChandlerA 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.
