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
Image
We must reacquaint ourselves with the biblical weight of the problem that we less-than-perfect human beings contend with in the face of a holy and righteous God.
Tullian Tchividjian
Image
Grace is unconditional acceptance given to an undeserving person by an unobligated giver.
Tullian Tchividjian
Image
Grace is upside-down, to-do-list wrecking, scandalous and way-too free. It's one-way love.
Tullian Tchividjian
Image
Grace could not have done it’s curing work if the law had not first done its crushing work.

Don't get me wrong - what we do is important. But it is infinitely less important than what Jesus has done for us.
Tullian Tchividjian
Image
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

There's nothing like suffering to reveal how small and needy you are. Pain has the remarkable capacity to reveal the weakness of the things you're leaning on to make life worth living.
Tullian Tchividjian
Image
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.

Image
God's ability to clean things up is infinitely greater than our ability to mess things up.

If you feel compelled to respond every time you're criticized it reveals just how much you've built your identity on being right.
Tullian Tchividjian
Image
God does everything through people who understand they're nothing. And God does nothing through those who think they're everything.
Tullian Tchividjian
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Since Genesis 3 we have been addicted to setting our sights on something, someone, smaller than Jesus.
Tullian Tchividjian
Image
Disobedience happens not when we think too much grace but when we think too little of it
Tullian Tchividjian
Image
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.

Image
Thankfully, while our self-righteousness reaches far, God's grace reaches farther.
Tullian Tchividjian
Image
Because Jesus was strong for me, I am free to be weak because Jesus won for me, I am free to lose because Jesus was someone, I am free to be no one because Jesus was extraordinary, I am free to be ordinary because Jesus succeeded for me, I am free to fail.

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.
