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.

More quotes by Tullian Tchividjian
Thankfully, while our self-righteousness reaches far, God's grace reaches farther.
Tullian Tchividjian
There is no better story in the Old Testament, or perhaps the whole Bible, for depicting the difference between the ladder-defined life and the cross-defined life than that of the Tower of Babel.
Tullian Tchividjian
God's grace meets us in messy places because messy places are all that there are.
Tullian Tchividjian
The good news of suffering is that it brings us to the end of ourselves - a purpose it has certainly served in my life. It brings us to the place of honesty, which is the place of desperation, which is the place of faith, which is the place of freedom.
Tullian Tchividjian
There's nothing like suffering to remind us how not in control we actually are, how little power we ultimately have, and how much we ultimately need God.
Tullian Tchividjian
Christianity is in no way a stoic faith. It fundamentally rejects the stiff upper lip school of thought.
Tullian Tchividjian
The world tells us in a thousand different ways that the bigger we become, the freer we will be. The richer, the more beautiful, and the more powerful we grow, the more security, liberty, and happiness we will experience. And yet, the gospel tells us just the opposite, that the smaller we become, the freer we will be.
Tullian Tchividjian
When you fail to distinguish Law and Gospel, you lose both.
Tullian Tchividjian
The focus of the Christian faith is not our morality it is Jesus, who died for our immorality.
Tullian Tchividjian
Because Jesus was someone, you’re free to be no one.
Tullian Tchividjian
To focus on how I'm doing more than what Christ has done is Christian narcissism
Tullian Tchividjian
There is no better news than that the God who makes the demand for perfection also meets the demand for perfection on our behalf.
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
I didn't realize that I was in a self-made prison of human approval and human acceptance. Didn't even realize it. Most of the prisons we live in we are not conscious of.
Tullian Tchividjian
Every time we sin in thought, word, or deed, we're essentially saying in that moment that, I don't need you God. I don't want you God. I like my way better than your way.
Tullian Tchividjian
When Martin Luther was asked what we contribute to our salvation, he said, Sin and resistance
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
I was a surfer so I hung out with people who were surfers and made fun of people who weren't surfers and I listened to surf music and made fun of people who didn't listen to surfer music.
Tullian Tchividjian
I was afraid that if I surrendered my life over to God, God would tell me not to do those things that I desperately wanted to do.
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.
