Image
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
Image
Sin is powerful, but not as powerful as the liberating power of grace.
Paul David Tripp
Image
You can tell yourself that God's not fair, or you can thank Him that He's not fair. If God was fair, we would be doomed and condemned.
Paul David Tripp
Image
How can you admit that your only hope is divine grace and then throw condemnation at another sinner when you see them struggle?

Image
True restoration takes patience, subtlety, skill, and grace.

Foolishness is more than being stupid, that deadly combination of arrogance and ignorance.
Paul David Tripp
Image
God's grace doesn't always come in comfortable forms. But it's still grace, and it's still evidence that He loves us.

The Bible says that our core problem, the fundamental reason we do what we do, is sin.

Image
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.

Our sin is what separates us from God, but it's our self righteousness that keeps us from running to Him for the grace He willingly gives to all who come.
Paul David Tripp
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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.

I am my biggest marital problem
Paul David Tripp
Image
We were meant to do more than make sure that all of our needs are fulfilled and all our desires are satisfied. We were never meant to be self-focused little kings ruling miniscule little kingdoms with a population of one.
Paul David Tripp
Image
The kingdom of self tends to be more focused on what the hands can touch than what the heart should embrace.
Paul David Tripp
Image
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
Image
See yourself and weep. See your God and rejoice.
Paul David Tripp
Image
The fatal flaw of human wisdom is that it promises that you can change your relationships without needing to change yourself.

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.
