Tullian Tchividjian
The truth is that when it comes to suffering, if we do not go to our graves in confusion, we will not go to our graves trusting. Explanations are a substitute for trust.
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
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.

The desperate addict is closer to the heart of grace than the devout moralist.
Tullian Tchividjian
Christianity is not Jesus is our example. Christianity is Jesus is our substitute.
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
To focus on how I'm doing more than what Christ has done is Christian narcissism
Tullian Tchividjian
My job is not to show my children that I'm the man, but to show them that Christ is the man.
Tullian Tchividjian
What is indisputable is the fact that unbelief is the force that gives birth to all of our bad behavior and every moral failure. It is the root.
Tullian Tchividjian
Remember on your best day that Jesus had to die for you. Remember on your worst day that he did.
Tullian Tchividjian
Christmas is the beachhead of God’s campaign against sin and sadness, darkness and death, fear and frustration.
Tullian Tchividjian
