A Problem with Modern Believers
All too often we’re quick to answer this question “correctly” but live in many ways contrary to it. What I mean is, we have sound theology but faulty practice. Most of the time we feel our heart’s desire is to live according to God’s commands and desires… until we come in conflict with something we don’t like or understand. It’s then that we work within our own authority and not God’s. Matt Chandler takes us through this idea encouraging us to rethink our answer and to know that if something is amiss, it’s on our side of the relationship. When we can see the truth of this in ourselves, we need to learn to repent of it and re-engage God humbly.
“What you believe about God cannot diminish God. Do you hear me? If you want to say, “I don’t believe that about God,” that does not make God any less God. “I just don’t believe God would act like that.” Do you think all of a sudden God goes, “Gosh! Let me shrink a little bit.” What you ultimately believe about God has much for you but does not affect God’s God-ness in any way. That is laughable that you think what you think about God somehow defines God ultimately. God cannot be defined by you. God is God.” -Matt Chandler
