This is an excerpt from Matt Chandler’s excellent message, A Shepherd and His Unregenerate Sheep at the Desiring God Conference for Pastors on February 3, 2009. Want to listen the entire message?

Have another few minutes? Listen to Matt contrast the Gospel and Religion in a panel discussion at the same conference.

For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel — not with words of human wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.
I Corinthians 1:17
