Shocking news from Matt Chandler!

Aug 04 2009

This is really just a test post for a plugin I added a short time ago.  I’m not looking for a fight or a debate, though if you are one of those people to whom Chandler is referring, I know your blood is boiling right now.  You almost won’t be able to stand not responding.  Have a great day!

“I’m unapologetically Reformed, but nine times out of ten I cannot stand the Reformed community. I don’t want to be around them. I don’t want to read their blogs. They can be cannibalistic, self-indulgent, non-missional, and angry. It’s silly and sad at the same time. Reformed doctrine should lead to a deep sense of humility and patience with others. How it produces such arrogance baffles me.”

Matt Chandler is the pastor of The Village Church in Highland Village, Texas.   This quote was from an interview in the Leadership Journal.

Thanks Matt.  We just didn’t know how to say it.  And I love your preaching!

  1. This is more true than shocking.

  2. Then there are those who are completely unimpressed & uninspired by him and don’t give two craps

  3. I’ve heard him say this in a message. Def love Chandler

  4. I have to assume that David Huey doesn’t count himself in the group that doesn’t “give two craps,” because those who truly don’t care don’t make a point of drawing attention to that fact.

    Personally, I think he’s right, and though he didn’t choose the most compassionate way to convey his experience, that doesn’t make it less valid.

    It does, however, convey his frustration at the “arrogance” of many reformed thinkers…arrogantly.
