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.
