i love Matt Chandler…


even more so now that we rock the same haircut although i’m missing the gnarly brain surgery scar.

every time i hear him speak.  the words that God gives him go straight to my heart.  i know he is only a man, but i believe he has allowed God to use him in a mighty way.  pray for Matt and his family as he is still undergoing cancer treatments.

 i was looking back over some notes from last years Right Now conference in Dallas and these thoughts from his sermon resonated with me again.  it’s amazing to think that God knows what my heart needs and he brings things to my remembrance.

Without a transformation of the heart, good things go bad quickly. 

The gospel is not that you are better than you were yesterday.

You can become a better person without the gospel, but you can not be transformed without it! 

Do you really have a new heart, or are you just trying to manage your sin? 

 IT IS AFFECTION FOR JESUS THAT PUTS SIN TO DEATH, NOT THE WILL OF MEN!!

did you catch that last part?  the part in all capital letters?  read it again.  only a transformed life will result in the death of our sin, because we are too weak to kill it ourselves.  oh that we would love Christ with all of our hearts and that we would be daily transformed and renewed.
