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.

More quotes by Tullian Tchividjian
The Bible makes it clear that self-righteousness is the premier enemy of the Gospel.
Tullian Tchividjian
Spiritual growth is marked by a growing realization of just how much grace you need.
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
To progress is always to begin again.
Tullian Tchividjian
The people who tend to be the most gracious are those who know how badly they need grace
Tullian Tchividjian
The Gospel is not ultimately a defense from pain, it is the message of God's rescue through pain. In fact, it allows us to drop our defenses, to escape not from pain but from the prison of How and Why to the freedom of Who?
Tullian Tchividjian
Contrary to what we conclude naturally, the gospel is not too good to be true. It is true! Its the truest truth in the entire universe. No strings attached! No fine print to read. No buts. No conditions. No qualifications. No footnotes. And especially, no need for balance.
Tullian Tchividjian
I think it's super important for the church itself to rediscover the gospel.
Tullian Tchividjian
The heart of the Christian faith is Good News, not good advice, good technique, or good behavior.
Tullian Tchividjian
Christianity is in no way a stoic faith. It fundamentally rejects the stiff upper lip school of thought.
Tullian Tchividjian
God is inviting you today to appropriately grieve your pains and losses and to acknowledge the world is seriously broken.
Tullian Tchividjian
We often read the Bible as if it were fundamentally about us: our improvement, our life, our triumph, our victory, our faith, our holiness, our godliness.
Tullian Tchividjian
Only the gospel can truly save you. The gospel doesn't make bad people good it makes dead people alive...the gospel is God's acceptance of us based on what Christ has done, not on what we can do.
Tullian Tchividjian
If you have suffered the loss of a family member to chronic disease, if you suffer debilitating seasons of depression, if you have lost your job and livelihood, gone through a divorce that came out of the blue, know that God is not punishing you. He is not waiting for you to do something.
Tullian Tchividjian
The best evangelists, the best preachers, the best teachers are desperate people.
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 don't know where you fit inside the home and you're young and you're desperate to fit in somewhere, I'd figured where I would fit outside the home. So I made some obviously bad decisions about who I hung out with and the things that I did.
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
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
Here's one way I can know that I've forgotten the gospel of grace: when your sin bothers me more than my sin.
