More quotes by Tullian Tchividjian
To focus on how I'm doing more than what Christ has done is Christian narcissism
Tullian Tchividjian
My lifestyle got so disruptive to my family that my parents had no choice but to say, You can't live here any longer if you're going to live this way. So, I was thrilled about it - thrilled!
Tullian Tchividjian
The gospel doesn't just ignite the Christian life but it keeps Christians growing and growing every day. There's no reason to move beyond the gospel. There's only movement more into it.
Tullian Tchividjian
Christianity is not Jesus is our example. Christianity is Jesus is our substitute.
Tullian Tchividjian
What kind of person should you be to someone who has fallen? The kind of person you will run to when you fall.
Tullian Tchividjian
The good news of suffering is that it brings us to the end of ourselves - a purpose it has certainly served in my life. It brings us to the place of honesty, which is the place of desperation, which is the place of faith, which is the place of freedom.
Tullian Tchividjian
I never had an intellectual struggle with the Bible, with the gospel, with the claims of Christ.
Tullian Tchividjian
The good news of the gospel [for sufferers] is not an exhortation from above to 'hang on at all costs,' or 'grin and bear it' in the midst of hardship. No, the good news is that God is hanging on to you, and in the end, when all is said and done, the power of God will triumph over every pain and loss.

Grace loves without reference to what may or may not happen-which is precisely why such incredible things do happen!
Tullian Tchividjian
When we depend on anything smaller than God to provide us with the security, significance, meaning, and value that we long for, God will love us enough to take it away. Much of our anger and bitterness, therefore, is God prying open our hands and taking away something we've held onto more tightly than him.
Tullian Tchividjian
What is indisputable is the fact that unbelief is the force that gives birth to all of our bad behavior and every moral failure. It is the root.
Tullian Tchividjian
When you fail to distinguish Law and Gospel, you lose both.
Tullian Tchividjian
God wants every local church to be the first place people think to go when they've really messed up...not the last.
Tullian Tchividjian
Walking with God doesn't lead to God's favor God's favor leads to walking with God.
Tullian Tchividjian
Only when you realize that the gospel has nothing to do with your obedience but with Christ's obedience for you, will you start to obey. The only Christians who end up getting better are those who realize that if they don't get better, God will love them anyway.
Tullian Tchividjian
Sometimes God has to remind you that you're weak so that you can be set free from your self-sufficiency.
Tullian Tchividjian
Grace doesn't lead us into destructive behavior. Sin does. And grace is the only remedy for sin. The kindness of God leads to repentance.
Tullian Tchividjian
Holy Saturday. The best reminder that the silence of God doesn't equal the absence of God.
Tullian Tchividjian
Grace flows most refreshingly through the faucet of brokenness.
Tullian Tchividjian
The truth is that when it comes to suffering, if we do not go to our graves in confusion, we will not go to our graves trusting. Explanations are a substitute for trust.
