I preach hard against that idea and plead with people to make war against sin. I tell them it's not going to be easy. Some people are meant to wrestle with their sin a long time before God brings them to freedom, but let's wrestle. Let's fight. Let's do something besides just complain.
Matt ChandlerEngaging the city around us and ministering to its needs reveal to us the remaining bastions of sin in our lives, the areas we refuse to surrender to God.
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.
