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.

More quotes by Tullian Tchividjian
The gospel doesn't make bad people good, it makes dead people alive.
Tullian Tchividjian
Legalism says God will love us if we change. The gospel says God will change us because He loves us.
Tullian Tchividjian
Once God saves us He doesn't move us beyond the gospel, but He moves us more deeply into the gospel.
Tullian Tchividjian
God wants every local church to be the first place people think to go when they've really messed up...not the last.
Tullian Tchividjian
Grace frees you to be honest about what you've always known to be true about yourself: that you're weaker & more afraid than you want to be.
Tullian Tchividjian
I ended up dropping out of high school at 16 and getting kicked out of my home. My parents told me, sadly, that because I was so disruptive to the rest of the household, that I could no longer live under their roof.
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
I wish I could say that everything I do is for God’s glory but I can’t. And neither can you. What I can say is Jesus’ blood covers all my efforts to glorify myself.
Tullian Tchividjian
The more I focused on my need to get better the worse I actually got - the more neurotic and self-conscious and self-absorbed I became.
Tullian Tchividjian
Christianity is in no way a stoic faith. It fundamentally rejects the stiff upper lip school of thought.
Tullian Tchividjian
There's nothing like suffering to remind us how not in control we actually are, how little power we ultimately have, and how much we ultimately need God.
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
My lifestyle got so disruptive to my family that my parents had no choice but to say, You can't live here any longer if you're going to live this way. So, I was thrilled about it - thrilled!

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
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
There is no better news than that the God who makes the demand for perfection also meets the demand for perfection on our behalf.
Tullian Tchividjian
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.
Tullian Tchividjian
To focus on how I'm doing more than what Christ has done is Christian narcissism
Tullian Tchividjian
It's better to feel sorry for doing something bad than to feel superior for doing something good.
Tullian Tchividjian
Here's one way I can know that I've forgotten the gospel of grace: when your sin bothers me more than my sin.
