Thankfully, God's restraining grace keeps even the worst of us from being utterly depraved. The worst people who have ever lived could've been worse.

More quotes by Tullian Tchividjian
There's nothing like suffering to reveal how small and needy you are. Pain has the remarkable capacity to reveal the weakness of the things you're leaning on to make life worth living.
Tullian Tchividjian
I think it's super important for the church itself to rediscover the gospel.
Tullian Tchividjian
I actually think one of most profoundly and deep pastoral moments between a pastor and his church is what happens between them before God in the context of preaching.
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
The gospel is for the defeated, not the dominant.
Tullian Tchividjian
The gospel brings things together. One of the great demonstration of the gospel's power is reconciliation. I've got friends who are surfers, doctors, lawyers, artists and entertainers. Some people are cool and some people are geeky. I look around at my friends and I think, only the gospel has the power to put together a friendship like this.
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
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
There are a still lot of people in today's church who can easily identify the idolatry outside the church and are pretty proud of the fact that they are not like them. And yet, we are far too slow to recognize the idolatry inside the church and more painfully, the idolatry inside our hearts.
Tullian Tchividjian
The gospel frees you from the pressure of having to fix people: your worth is located in Christ, not in their transformation.
Tullian Tchividjian
Because Jesus was strong for me, I am free to be weak because Jesus won for me, I am free to lose because Jesus was someone, I am free to be no one because Jesus was extraordinary, I am free to be ordinary because Jesus succeeded for me, I am free to fail.
Tullian Tchividjian
A preacher who doesn't believe he's that bad will attract people who don't think they're that bad. And that's bad.
Tullian Tchividjian
For the life of the believer, one thing is beautifully and abundantly true: God's chief concern in your suffering is to be with you and be himself for you.
Tullian Tchividjian
The world isn't scandalized by our freedom but by our fakeness.
Tullian Tchividjian
I never had an intellectual struggle with the Bible, with the gospel, with the claims of Christ.
Tullian Tchividjian
Our minds are affected by sin. Our hearts are affected by sin. Our wills are affected by sin. Our bodies are affected by sin.
Tullian Tchividjian
The law is God's first word the gospel is God's final word.
Tullian Tchividjian
Even one who has been to God a million times with the same problem need not fear exhausting the grace of God.
Tullian Tchividjian
Grace is love that seeks you out when you have nothing to give in return. Grace is love coming at you that has nothing to do with you. Grace is being loved when you are unlovable.
Tullian Tchividjian
Mt. Sinai says, 'You must do. Mt. Calvary says, 'Because you couldn't, Jesus did.' Don't run to the wrong mountain for your hiding place
