Contrary to popular assumptions, the Bible is not a record of the blessed good, but rather the blessed bad. Thats not a typo. The Bible is a record of the blessed bad. The Bible is not a witness to the best people making it up to God its a witness to God making it down to the worst people.

The desperate addict is closer to the heart of grace than the devout moralist.

We are not responsible for finding the right formula to combat or unlock our suffering.
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
Thankfully, while our self-righteousness reaches far, God's grace reaches farther.
Tullian Tchividjian
Because the church has moved away from the gospel anytime you move away from the gospel, you at the same time move toward pretense, you move toward image-keeping, you move toward the need to pretend.

Christian growth doesn't happen by first behaving better, but by believing better--believi ng in bigger, deeper, brighter ways what Christ has already secured for sinners.
