Innovation3: Shaping the Culture — Matt Chandler
Here are some key points from Matt Chandler out of The Village Church:
- “We had the crazy asian (Dave Gibbons), the charismatic black man (John Jenkins) — I’m the goofy white guy.”
- “People are pitching tents where they don’t belong.”
- “Paul trained Timothy in engagement and depth — BOTH.”
- “Doctrine matters, theology matters, the Gospel matters.”
- “If you missed the Gospel, it doesn’t matter the crowds you draw or the humanitarian aid you provide.”
- “It doesn’t matter the praise given if the praise is wrong.”
- “Avoid myths.”
- “Pursue godliness.”
- “It looked like a Rob Bell glasses festival.”
- “If you’re teaching good things but not the gospel, you’re just a rotary club, not the church.”
- “The argument is not inerrancy, the argument is sufficiency.”
- “We milk our story as if it is THE story.”
- “I have one hope: the sovereign God of the universe was in control.”
- “Progressive sanctification is for pastors, too.”
- “I believe we never want what we deserve.”
- “It is only a matter of time before [all you have] turns to dust and you will go naked into the throne room of God.”
- “We must play our part well.”
