Heaven is not a place for those who are afraid of hell; itโs a place for those who love God.
Matt ChandlerLove says: I've seen the ugly parts of you, and I'm staying. Our culture doesn't love love; It loves the idea of love. It wants the emotion without the sacrifice.
Matt ChandlerDiscipline will never bring about love for God, but love for God will bring about discipline.
Matt ChandlerPrayer does two things. It shows the complete sufficiency of God and the complete helplessness of man. It shows that God is not lacking, that He is in need of no thing, that He is infinitely and gloriously wealthy, that He can give to, He can bless and He can answer without the need of help from anyone or anything else. And it also shows that we are in desperate need of that kind of sufficiency.
