More quotes by 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
Holy Saturday. The best reminder that the silence of God doesn't equal the absence of God.
Tullian Tchividjian
If you feel compelled to respond every time you're criticized it reveals just how much you've built your identity on being right.
Tullian Tchividjian
Grace is the most dangerous, expectation-wre cking, smile-creating, counterintuitiv e reality there is.
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
In those moments when I'm obsessively counting my sins against me, it is good news to remember that God has counted my sins against Christ.
Tullian Tchividjian
I was spending way too much time thinking about me and what I needed to do, and far too little time thinking about Jesus and what he had already done for me.
Tullian Tchividjian
There's absolutely no way you can feel the freedom to embarrass and humiliate yourself unless you have finally recognized that your identity is in someone other than yourself.
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
Spiritual growth is marked by a growing realization of just how much grace you need.
Tullian Tchividjian
Real, pure, unadulterated freedom happens when the resources of the gospel smash any sense of need to secure for myself anything beyond what Christ has already secured for me.
Tullian Tchividjian
Contrary to popular assumptions, the Bible is not a record of the blessed good, but rather the blessed bad. Thats not a typo. The Bible is a record of the blessed bad. The Bible is not a witness to the best people making it up to God its a witness to God making it down to the worst people.
Tullian Tchividjian
The world isn't scandalized by our freedom but by our fakeness.
Tullian Tchividjian
People who haven't experienced major setbacks sometimes feel that their hurts are somehow less legitimate or real.
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
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
Christianity is in no way a stoic faith. It fundamentally rejects the stiff upper lip school of thought.
Tullian Tchividjian
In the Old Testament, we are continually told that our good works are not enough, that God has made a provision. This provision is pointed to at every place in the Old Testament.
Tullian Tchividjian
The best evangelists, the best preachers, the best teachers are desperate people.
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.
