Matt Chandler Rebukes Church for Being ‘Hypocritical’ on Racism

Share:

The Village Church posted a clip from Matt Chandler’s most recent sermon, in which he denounced the Christian church for mostly refusing to participate on issues of race.

Chandler, who stopped himself mid-preaching to apologize for getting “heated” on the topic, accused Christians of hypocrisy on matters of racial injustice. “When you say, ‘Hey, we’re not going to get involved, let’s just preach the gospel to that’—which by the way, I find so hypocritical,” Chandler began. “You don’t just preach the gospel on sex trafficking; you don’t just preach the gospel on the issue of life and abortion. No, you act! It’s like this brain-broke disjoint that’s got us acting absurd and then critiquing this movement as being evil and dark when we have given up our inheritance! You cannot point out all the flaws in this current movement while you have abandoned the place that we were meant to play!”
