The focus of the Christian faith is not our morality it is Jesus, who died for our immorality.
Tullian Tchividjian
Image
Holy Saturday. The best reminder that the silence of God doesn't equal the absence of God.
Tullian Tchividjian
Image
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.

The gospel doesn't make bad people good, it makes dead people alive.

Image
Unfulfilled dreams, ongoing relational tension, the loss of friendships, a hard marriage, rebellious teenagers, the death of loved ones, remaining sinful patterns - whatever it is for you - live long enough, lose enough, suffer enough, and the idealism of youth fades, leaving behind the reality of life in a broken world as a broken person.

Image
God is inviting you today to appropriately grieve your pains and losses and to acknowledge the world is seriously broken.

Image
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.

The world isn't scandalized by our freedom but by our fakeness.
Tullian Tchividjian
Image
Grace is thickly counter-intuitive. It feels risky and unfair. It's dangerous and disorderly. It wrestles control out of our hands. It is wild and unsettling. It turns everything that makes sense to us upside-down and inside-out.
Tullian Tchividjian
Image
Legalism says God will love us if we change. The gospel says God will change us because He loves us.
Tullian Tchividjian
Image
Your pain could be God prying open your life and heart to remove a gift of His that you've been on to more dearly than Him.
Tullian Tchividjian
Image
We must reacquaint ourselves with the biblical weight of the problem that we less-than-perfect human beings contend with in the face of a holy and righteous God.
Tullian Tchividjian
Image
Walking with God doesn't lead to God's favor God's favor leads to walking with God.
Tullian Tchividjian
Image
I became frustrated with myself for not being as sturdy and unquestioning as I knew a man in my position should be.
Tullian Tchividjian
Image
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.

If you have suffered the loss of a family member to chronic disease, if you suffer debilitating seasons of depression, if you have lost your job and livelihood, gone through a divorce that came out of the blue, know that God is not punishing you. He is not waiting for you to do something.
Tullian Tchividjian
Image
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
Image
If we're not reaching the same people Jesus reached, then we're not preaching the same message Jesus preached.

Image
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.
