More quotes by Tullian Tchividjian
When you don't know where you fit inside the home and you're young and you're desperate to fit in somewhere, I'd figured where I would fit outside the home. So I made some obviously bad decisions about who I hung out with and the things that I did.

God's ability to clean things up is infinitely greater than our ability to mess things up.
Tullian Tchividjian
The overwhelming emphasis of contemporary Christianity: Just do it. The overwhelming emphasis of Biblical Christianity: It is finished

The law demands that we do it all the gospel declares that Jesus paid it all.

Whether it's a Christian or a non-Christian, there's nothing like suffering to show us how small, needy, and not in control we are. Suffering has a way of sobering us up to the realization that we can't make it on our own, that we need help, that we're broken.

The Gospel frees us to speak honestly about the reality of pain, confident that nothing is riding on our ability to cope with or fend off suffering.
Tullian Tchividjian
Our minds are affected by sin. Our hearts are affected by sin. Our wills are affected by sin. Our bodies are affected by sin.
Tullian Tchividjian
My job as a pastor and theologian is to tease out the nature and the necessity of the gospel in meticulous ways, in everything I say, in everything I like. I want desperately for the church in America to rediscover the power and the beauty and the nature and the necessity of the gospel.
Tullian Tchividjian
If you uproot the idol and fail to plant the love of Christ in its place, the idol will grow back.
Tullian Tchividjian
The hub of Christianity is not do something for Jesus. The hub of Christianity is Jesus has done everything for you.
Tullian Tchividjian
Long-term, gospel-motivate d obedience can only come from the grace of what Jesus has already done, not the guilt of what we must do.
Tullian Tchividjian
...this culture of mandatory happiness actually promotes dishonesty and more suffering.
Tullian Tchividjian
God's grace meets us in messy places because messy places are all that there are.
Tullian Tchividjian
The gospel doesn't make bad people good, it makes dead people alive.
