Tullian Tchividjian
Grace is the most dangerous, expectation-wre cking, smile-creating, counterintuitiv e reality there is.
Tullian Tchividjian
Suffering reveals to us the two things that ultimately matter: that we are weak but He is strong.
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
Walking with God doesn't lead to God's favor God's favor leads to walking with God.
Tullian Tchividjian
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.
Tullian Tchividjian
Grace loves without reference to what may or may not happen-which is precisely why such incredible things do happen!
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
