More quotes by Tullian Tchividjian
The best evangelists, the best preachers, the best teachers are desperate people.
Tullian Tchividjian
If you look at the gospel, it just doesn't break things apart. The gospel brings things together. One of the great demonstration of the gospel's power is reconciliation.
Tullian Tchividjian
Holy Saturday. The best reminder that the silence of God doesn't equal the absence of God.
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.
Tullian Tchividjian
Suffering reveals to us the two things that ultimately matter: that we are weak but He is strong.
Tullian Tchividjian

Tullian Tchividjian
Mt. Sinai says, 'You must do. Mt. Calvary says, 'Because you couldn't, Jesus did.' Don't run to the wrong mountain for your hiding place

Assurance never comes from looking at ourselves. It only comes as a consequence of looking to Christ.
Tullian Tchividjian
I wish I could say that everything I do is for God’s glory but I can’t. And neither can you. What I can say is Jesus’ blood covers all my efforts to glorify myself.
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
When the Christian faith becomes defined by who we are and what we do and not by who Christ is and what he did for us, we miss the gospel - and we, ironically, become more disobedient.
Tullian Tchividjian
Christmas is the beachhead of God’s campaign against sin and sadness, darkness and death, fear and frustration.
Tullian Tchividjian
Information is seldom enough to heal a wounded heart.
Tullian Tchividjian
The desperate addict is closer to the heart of grace than the devout moralist.
Tullian Tchividjian
Spiritual growth is marked by a growing realization of just how much grace you need.
Tullian Tchividjian
Grace is thickly counter-intuitive. It feels risky and unfair. It's dangerous and disorderly. It wrestles control out of our hands. It is wild and unsettling. It turns everything that makes sense to us upside-down and inside-out.
Tullian Tchividjian
The emphasis of the Bible is on the work of the Redeemer, not on the work of the redeemed.
Tullian Tchividjian
To focus on how I'm doing more than what Christ has done is Christian narcissism
Tullian Tchividjian
Grace could not have done it’s curing work if the law had not first done its crushing work.
