More quotes by Tullian Tchividjian
The deepest fear we have, 'the fear beneath all fears,' is the fear of not measuring up, the fear of judgment. It's this fear that creates the stress and depression of everyday life.
Tullian Tchividjian
The way of God's grace becomes indispensable when we realize that the way of God's law is inflexible.
Tullian Tchividjian
We make a big mistake when we conclude that the law is the answer to bad behavior. In fact, the law alone stirs up more of such behavior. People get worse, not better, when you lay down the law. To be sure, the Spirit does use both God's law and God's gospel in our sanctification. But the law and the gospel do very different things.
Tullian Tchividjian
Grace is the most dangerous, expectation-wre cking, smile-creating, counterintuitiv e reality there is.
Tullian Tchividjian
The gospel is not about a lifestyle that we live, it's about the law-fulfilling life that Christ lived.
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
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
Because Jesus was someone, you’re free to be no one.
Tullian Tchividjian
The pain cleared my vision, and once it was taken away, I realized just how much I'd been relying on the endorsement of others to make me feel like I mattered.
Tullian Tchividjian
Here's one way I can know that I've forgotten the gospel of grace: when your sin bothers me more than my sin.
Tullian Tchividjian
Christianity is not Jesus is our example. Christianity is Jesus is our substitute.
Tullian Tchividjian
The truth, whether we admit it or not, is that grace scares us to death. It scares us primarily because it wrestles control and manageability out of our hands - introducing chaos and freedom.
Tullian Tchividjian
The heart of sanctification is the life which feeds on justification.
Tullian Tchividjian
Only the Holy Spirit can comfort a person in the depths of grief.
Tullian Tchividjian
If the depths of everyone's sin was made public, we would all be much more gracious to each other.
Tullian Tchividjian
From the time God saved me at 21 years old, I've always been fascinated by the parables of Jesus.
Tullian Tchividjian
To focus on how I'm doing more than what Christ has done is Christian narcissism
Tullian Tchividjian
Information is seldom enough to heal a wounded heart.
Tullian Tchividjian
Your pain could be God prying open your life and heart to remove a gift of His that you've been on to more dearly than Him.
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.
