Walking with God doesn't lead to God's favor God's favor leads to walking with God.

Image
Between writing, traveling, speaking, preaching, and doing my best to be a good husband to my wife and my three kids, that's about as much as one man or at least this man can do.

Image
When it comes to understanding and appreciating grace, our biggest problem is our so-called goodness...not our self-perceived badness.

Image
Here's one way I can know that I've forgotten the gospel of grace: when your sin bothers me more than my sin.

To focus on how I'm doing more than what Christ has done is Christian narcissism
Tullian Tchividjian
Image
Our minds are affected by sin. Our hearts are affected by sin. Our wills are affected by sin. Our bodies are affected by sin.

Image
In 'Surprised by Grace: God's Relentless Pursuit of Rebels,' I retell the story of Jonah and show how Jonah was just as much in need of God's grace as the sailors and the Ninevites.

Image
The gospel doesn't just ignite the Christian life but it keeps Christians growing and growing every day. There's no reason to move beyond the gospel. There's only movement more into it.

Image
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
Image
Only the gospel can truly save you. The gospel doesn't make bad people good it makes dead people alive...the gospel is God's acceptance of us based on what Christ has done, not on what we can do.

Image
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.
