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 ChandlerWeโve got to get past this idea that God is most glorified when weโre rich, healthy and wealthy and we go, โIsnโt God grand? Look at all He gave me.โ Because if anybody joins us in that and says, โOh, if you love Jesus, you get a house and health and cars? Then I love Jesus too.โ Because then all of a sudden youโve got a different religion. You have the religion of cars and houses, not God.
Matt ChandlerWe 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.
