God is not in love with some future version of you. Itโs not you tomorrow that He loves and delights in. Itโs not you when you get your act together....If you believe that Christโs love for you is a future love for you, then you dismiss the cross of Christ.
Matt ChandlerThe depth, width, ferocity, and immensity of God is seen most spectacularly in the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Matt ChandlerOur goal is transformed hearts that lead to transformed lives. Transformed lives do not lead to transformed hearts. Are you trackin' with that?
Matt ChandlerHe created the flavors! He created the colors. He created it all, and he did it all out of the overflow of his perfections. Itโs not like he was thinking, โOh, Iโve got some fajita flavoring over here. I know: letโs put it on the cow and the chicken.โ He created the avocado to have a certain flavor; he created the skirt steak, the fillet, and the tenderloin to have certain flavors. That was Godโs doing. So every aspect of creation, from the largest galaxy to the tiniest burst of flavor in food or drink or seasoning, radiates the goodness of God.
