Tullian Tchividjian
If you uproot the idol and fail to plant the love of Christ in its place, the idol will grow back.
Tullian Tchividjian

When you don't know where you fit inside the home and you're young and you're desperate to fit in somewhere, I'd figured where I would fit outside the home. So I made some obviously bad decisions about who I hung out with and the things that I did.
Tullian Tchividjian
The good news of suffering is that it brings us to the end of ourselves - a purpose it has certainly served in my life. It brings us to the place of honesty, which is the place of desperation, which is the place of faith, which is the place of freedom.
Tullian Tchividjian
The gospel brings things together. One of the great demonstration of the gospel's power is reconciliation. I've got friends who are surfers, doctors, lawyers, artists and entertainers. Some people are cool and some people are geeky. I look around at my friends and I think, only the gospel has the power to put together a friendship like this.

God's capacity to forgive is greater than our capacity to sin while our sin reaches far, God's grace reaches farther. It's a message revealing the radical contrast between the sinful heart of mankind and the gracious heart of mankind's Creator.
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.

The focus of the Christian faith is not our morality it is Jesus, who died for our immorality.
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
God has hardwired me to thoroughly enjoy and be sharpened by good and friendly theological discussion about the gospel.
Tullian Tchividjian
The gospel is good news to those who know they don't measure up. It's offensive to those who think they do.
Tullian Tchividjian
The Gospel announces that Jesus came to acquit the guilty. He came to judge and be judged in our place. Christ came to satisfy the deep judgment against us once and for all so that we could be free from the judgement of God, others, and ourselves.
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.
