Spiritual growth is marked by a growing realization of just how much grace you need.
Tullian Tchividjian
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.
Tullian Tchividjian
Grace flows most refreshingly through the faucet of brokenness.
Tullian Tchividjian
Because the church has moved away from the gospel anytime you move away from the gospel, you at the same time move toward pretense, you move toward image-keeping, you move toward the need to pretend.
Tullian Tchividjian
While our sin reaches far, God's grace reaches farther. God came after us not to strip away our freedom but to strip away our slavery to self, that we could become truly free.
Tullian Tchividjian
When Martin Luther was asked what we contribute to our salvation, he said, Sin and resistance
Tullian Tchividjian
Once God saves us He doesn't move us beyond the gospel, but He moves us more deeply into the gospel.
Tullian Tchividjian
Suffering reveals to us the two things that ultimately matter: that we are weak but He is strong.
Tullian Tchividjian
