Tullian Tchividjian
Every time we sin in thought, word, or deed, we're essentially saying in that moment that, I don't need you God. I don't want you God. I like my way better than your way.
Tullian Tchividjian
Christianity is not Jesus is our example. Christianity is Jesus is our substitute.
Tullian Tchividjian
