I was spending too much time thinking about how I was doing, if I was learning everything I was supposed to be learning during this difficult season, whether I was doing it right or not, taking my spiritual pulse, etc - my inner lawyer was working overtime.
Tullian Tchividjian
I agree we have enough books that attempt to explain why God allows suffering, presumably in a way that lets God off the hook. And while much smarter men than I have constructed elaborate systems in this pursuit, they are by definition exercises in speculation.
Tullian Tchividjian
Grace is unconditional acceptance given to an undeserving person by an unobligated giver.
Tullian Tchividjian
Suffering reveals to us the two things that ultimately matter: that we are weak but He is strong.
Tullian Tchividjian
A biblical understanding of the Christian life is not 'let go and let God,' it's 'trust God and get going.'
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
God did not rescue me out of the pain, He rescued me through the pain!
Tullian Tchividjian
I became frustrated with myself for not being as sturdy and unquestioning as I knew a man in my position should be.
Tullian Tchividjian
God is not interested in what you think you should be or feel. He is not interested in the narrative you have construct for yourself, or that others have construct for you. He may even use suffering to deconstruct that narrative.
Tullian Tchividjian
Job's unraveling wasn't wrong or sinful rather, it was emotionally realistic.
Tullian Tchividjian
Jesus plus nothing equals everything everything minus Jesus equals nothing.
Tullian Tchividjian
There's absolutely no way you can feel the freedom to embarrass and humiliate yourself unless you have finally recognized that your identity is in someone other than yourself.
Tullian Tchividjian
Before we can even begin to grapple with the frustrations and tragedies of life in this world, we must do away with our faithless morality of payback and reward.
Tullian Tchividjian
When you don't have anything to lose, you discover something wonderful: you're free to take great risks without fear or reservation.
Tullian Tchividjian
If you look at the gospel, it just doesn't break things apart. The gospel brings things together. One of the great demonstration of the gospel's power is reconciliation.
Tullian Tchividjian
Assurance never comes from looking at ourselves. It only comes as a consequence of looking to Christ.
Tullian Tchividjian
Grace loves without reference to what may or may not happen-which is precisely why such incredible things do happen!
Tullian Tchividjian
I think for far too long the Church has concluded that Christians don't need the gospel, it's simple what non-Christian people need in order to be saved.
Tullian Tchividjian
We make a big mistake when we conclude that the law is the answer to bad behavior. In fact, the law alone stirs up more of such behavior. People get worse, not better, when you lay down the law. To be sure, the Spirit does use both God's law and God's gospel in our sanctification. But the law and the gospel do very different things.
Tullian Tchividjian
The deepest cry of the human heart is to be loved without condition, no matter what. The gospel of grace announces that you are.
