Matt Chandler On the Reformed Community

I just added Matt Chandler’s name to the short list of Reformed folk that I both appreciate and respect.

“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.” – From “The Good Fight,” an interview with Matt Chandler in the current issue of Leadership.

Are you all listening? Let’s hope so. H/T: Out of Context

    Perhaps more strongly stated than I would, but I get where he’s coming from.

    Nevertheless, every ‘camp’ or ‘community’ has its issues. It’s just that it hurts more when it’s the camp to which you belong.

    Right on. Armen.

  3. [...] He has been critical of some “Calvinists”, yet seems to embrace friendships with Mohler, Mahaney, and others.  (http://lofitribe.com/matt-chandler-on-the-reformed-community/) [...]
