I think there is tribalism is a big deal inside of the church, that the church thinks of themselves as a tribe and not a mission.

More quotes by Tullian Tchividjian
The passive righteousness of faith frees me from passing final judgment on myself.
Tullian Tchividjian
My daily sins require daily distribution of God's grace. In that sense, it never ceases to surprise me because I don't deserve any of it. I mean, I deserve to be locked in a cage and for God to throw away the key.
Tullian Tchividjian
Jesus is not the man at the top of the stairs He is the man at the bottom, the friend of sinners, the savior of those in need of one. Which is all of us, all of the time.
Tullian Tchividjian
The desperate addict is closer to the heart of grace than the devout moralist.
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.
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
Grace could not have done it’s curing work if the law had not first done its crushing work.
Tullian Tchividjian
I actually think one of most profoundly and deep pastoral moments between a pastor and his church is what happens between them before God in the context of preaching.
Tullian Tchividjian
Grace is the most dangerous, expectation-wre cking, smile-creating, counterintuitiv e reality there is.
Tullian Tchividjian
The biggest lie about grace that Satan wants the church to buy is the idea that it’s dangerous and therefore needs to be kept in check.
Tullian Tchividjian
A biblical understanding of the Christian life is not 'let go and let God,' it's 'trust God and get going.'
Tullian Tchividjian
God's grace meets us in messy places because messy places are all that there are.
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 doesn't lead us into destructive behavior. Sin does. And grace is the only remedy for sin. The kindness of God leads to repentance.
Tullian Tchividjian
The emphasis of the Bible is on the work of the Redeemer, not on the work of the redeemed.
Tullian Tchividjian
The heart of the Christian faith is Good News, not good advice, good technique, or good behavior.
Tullian Tchividjian
There are a still lot of people in today's church who can easily identify the idolatry outside the church and are pretty proud of the fact that they are not like them. And yet, we are far too slow to recognize the idolatry inside the church and more painfully, the idolatry inside our hearts.
Tullian Tchividjian
Sometimes God has to remind you that you're weak so that you can be set free from your self-sufficiency.
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
God's grace is so counterintuitive and everything we do in our life is just based on conditions. You do this for me and I'll do that for you. Or if you don't do this for me, I won't do that for you. And God's grace works in a completely different direction.
