More quotes by Paul David Tripp
Sin makes us moral quadriplegics.
Paul David Tripp
We forget that God's primary goal is not changing our situations or relationships so that we can be happy, but changing us through our situations and relationships so that we will be holy.
Paul David Tripp
The church is not a theological classroom. It is a conversion, confession, repentance, reconciliation, forgiveness and sanctification center, where flawed people place their faith in Christ, gather to know and love him better, and learn to love others as he designed.
Paul David Tripp
Every time you ask for forgiveness, you recognize that the biggest problems you face in life exist inside of you, not outside of you.
Paul David Tripp
The cross guarantees that even in your darkest moment God will never turn in disgust and walk away. There is no rebellion, no weakness, no foolishness, no evil of heart that the cross can't defeat and grace can't transform.
Paul David Tripp
There is nothing that could be revealed about a pastor that has not already been covered by the blood of Jesus
Paul David Tripp
We must begin by admitting that people and situations do not cause us to speak as we do. Our hearts control our words. People and situations simply provide the occasion for the heart to express itself.
Paul David Tripp
Every day you preach to yourself a gospel of your loneliness, inability, and lack of resources or you faithfully preach to yourself the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Paul David Tripp
The more you understand the magnitude of God's grace, the more accurate will be your view of the depth of your unrighteousness and the more you understand the depth of your unrighteousness , the more you will appreciate the magnitude of God's gift of grace.
Paul David Tripp
Only love for Christ has the power to incapacitate the sturdy love for self that is the bane of every sinner, and only the grace of Christ has the power to produce that love.
Paul David Tripp
See yourself and weep. See your God and rejoice.
Paul David Tripp
The fatal flaw of human wisdom is that it promises that you can change your relationships without needing to change yourself.
Paul David Tripp
Harboring bitterness against people is actually confessing their sin to myself, over and over again. Anger is akin to confessing their sin to God, dissatisfied that he hasn't done something and placing myself in his position as judge.
Paul David Tripp
I am my biggest marital problem
Paul David Tripp
God is the ultimate musician. His music transforms your life. The notes of redemption rearrange your heart and restore your life. His songs of forgiveness, grace, reconciliation, truth, hope, sovereignty, and love give you back your humanity and restore your identity.
Paul David Tripp
God never intended for us to simply be the objects of His love. We are also called to be the instruments of that love in the lives of others.
Paul David Tripp
When your sin is exposed, you will run toward confession and forgiveness or self-righteousness and self-justification.
Paul David Tripp
Human self-righteousness denies the need for the saving, enabling grace of Christ. Human righteousness embraces the cruelest of Satan's lies, that a person can be righteous by keeping the law. If that were true, there would have been no need for the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Christ.
Paul David Tripp
God's design in our pain enables us to look back and say: He loves me enough to take me where I would have never wanted to go in order to produce in me what I never could have achieved on my own.
Paul David Tripp
God's grace doesn't always come in comfortable forms. But it's still grace, and it's still evidence that He loves us.
Paul David Tripp
