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

Tullian Tchividjian
The world tells us in a thousand different ways that the bigger we become, the freer we will be. The richer, the more beautiful, and the more powerful we grow, the more security, liberty, and happiness we will experience. And yet, the gospel tells us just the opposite, that the smaller we become, the freer we will be.
Tullian Tchividjian

Tullian Tchividjian
Christianity is in no way a stoic faith. It fundamentally rejects the stiff upper lip school of thought.
Tullian Tchividjian
The ironic thing about legalism is that it not only doesn't make people work harder, it makes them give up. Moralism doesn't produce morality rather, it produces immorality.
Tullian Tchividjian
It's better to feel sorry for doing something bad than to feel superior for doing something good.
Tullian Tchividjian
There is no better story in the Old Testament, or perhaps the whole Bible, for depicting the difference between the ladder-defined life and the cross-defined life than that of the Tower of Babel.
Tullian Tchividjian
To focus on how I'm doing more than what Christ has done is Christian narcissism
Tullian Tchividjian
People who haven't experienced major setbacks sometimes feel that their hurts are somehow less legitimate or real.
Tullian Tchividjian
Performancism is the mindset that equates our identity and value directly with our performance and accomplishments.
Tullian Tchividjian
To be Biblically balanced is to let our theology and preaching be proportioned by the Bible's radically disproportionate focus on God's saving love for sinners seen and accomplished in the crucified and risen Christ.
Tullian Tchividjian
God has hardwired me to thoroughly enjoy and be sharpened by good and friendly theological discussion about the gospel.
Tullian Tchividjian
My daily sins require daily distribution of God's grace. In that sense, it never ceases to surprise me because I don't deserve any of it. I mean, I deserve to be locked in a cage and for God to throw away the key.
