More quotes by Tullian Tchividjian
God's grace is so counterintuitive and everything we do in our life is just based on conditions. You do this for me and I'll do that for you. Or if you don't do this for me, I won't do that for you. And God's grace works in a completely different direction.
Tullian Tchividjian
Whether it's a Christian or a non-Christian, there's nothing like suffering to show us how small, needy, and not in control we are. Suffering has a way of sobering us up to the realization that we can't make it on our own, that we need help, that we're broken.
Tullian Tchividjian
People who haven't experienced major setbacks sometimes feel that their hurts are somehow less legitimate or real.
Tullian Tchividjian
Remember on your best day that Jesus had to die for you. Remember on your worst day that he did.
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
The Gospel frees us to speak honestly about the reality of pain, confident that nothing is riding on our ability to cope with or fend off suffering.
Tullian Tchividjian
Long-term, gospel-motivate d obedience can only come from the grace of what Jesus has already done, not the guilt of what we must do.
Tullian Tchividjian
My daily sins require daily distribution of God's grace. In that sense, it never ceases to surprise me because I don't deserve any of it. I mean, I deserve to be locked in a cage and for God to throw away the key.
Tullian Tchividjian
I think it's super important for the church itself to rediscover the gospel.
Tullian Tchividjian
Suffering reveals to us the two things that ultimately matter: that we are weak but He is strong.
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!
Tullian Tchividjian
Only when you realize that the gospel has nothing to do with your obedience but with Christ's obedience for you, will you start to obey. The only Christians who end up getting better are those who realize that if they don't get better, God will love them anyway.
Tullian Tchividjian
The heart of the Christian faith is Good News, not good advice, good technique, or good behavior.
Tullian Tchividjian
You can be sure that your deepest desires reveal important truths about your spiritual condition.
Tullian Tchividjian
Assurance never comes from looking at ourselves. It only comes as a consequence of looking to Christ.
Tullian Tchividjian
When it comes to understanding and appreciating grace, our biggest problem is our so-called goodness...not our self-perceived badness.
Tullian Tchividjian
The best evangelists, the best preachers, the best teachers are desperate people.
Tullian Tchividjian
When we depend on anything smaller than God to provide us with the security, significance, meaning, and value that we long for, God will love us enough to take it away. Much of our anger and bitterness, therefore, is God prying open our hands and taking away something we've held onto more tightly than him.
Tullian Tchividjian
The good news of the gospel [for sufferers] is not an exhortation from above to 'hang on at all costs,' or 'grin and bear it' in the midst of hardship. No, the good news is that God is hanging on to you, and in the end, when all is said and done, the power of God will triumph over every pain and loss.

When God saved me, He gave me a thirst to learn and to read and to study. I thrived in college. I got a bachelor's degree in philosophy and then went to Reformed Theological Seminary in Orlando.
