I think people can get a little weirded out by pain, suffering, and death. They don't know what to do so they end up saying things that are hurtful to people who have experienced loss.
Matt ChandlerHeaven is not a place for those who are afraid of hell; itโs a place for those who love God. You can scare people into coming to your church, you can scare people into trying to be good, you can scare people into giving money, you can even scare them into walking down an aisle and praying a certain prayer, but you cannot scare people into loving God. You just canโt do it.
Matt ChandlerThere isnโt a violent soul on the planet that God might not save and transform for himself.
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.
