Tullian Tchividjian Quotes

Grace is upside-down, to-do-list wrecking, scandalous and way-too free. It’s one-way love Picture Quote #1

Thankfully, God’s restraining grace keeps even the worst of us from being utterly depraved. The worst people who have ever lived could’ve been worse Picture Quote #1

Hollywood is not known as a culture of grace. Dog-eat-dog is more like it. People love you one day and hate you the next. Personal value is very much attached to box office revenues and the unpredictable and often cruel winds of fashion Picture Quote #1

I’m not sure I’ll ever fully understand why some Christians get mad when we say that the ultimate hero in the Bible is not Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Paul, etc... but Jesus Picture Quote #1

In the Old Testament, we are continually told that our good works are not enough, that God has made a provision. This provision is pointed to at every place in the Old Testament Picture Quote #1

When God saved me, He gave me a thirst to learn and to read and to study. I thrived in college. I got a bachelor’s degree in philosophy and then went to Reformed Theological Seminary in Orlando Picture Quote #1

Legalism says God will love us if we change. The gospel says God will change us because He loves us Picture Quote #1

To focus on how I’m doing more than what Christ has done is Christian narcissism Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

My struggle isn’t believing my performance can earn God’s favor; my struggle is believing my performance can keep God’s favor Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The deepest fear we have, ‘the fear beneath all fears,’ is the fear of not measuring up, the fear of judgment. It’s this fear that creates the stress and depression of everyday life Picture Quote #1

If people knew the REAL us, they would run. God knows, stays, and loves Picture Quote #1

When we depend on anything smaller than God to provide us with the security, significance, meaning, and value that we long for, God will love us enough to take it away. Much of our anger and bitterness, therefore, is God prying open our hands and taking away something we’ve held onto more tightly than him Picture Quote #1

We make a big mistake when we conclude that the law is the answer to bad behavior. In fact, the law alone stirs up more of such behavior. People get worse, not better, when you lay down the law. To be sure, the Spirit does use both God’s law and God’s gospel in our sanctification. But the law and the gospel do very different things Picture Quote #1

Remember on your best day that Jesus had to die for you. Remember on your worst day that he did Picture Quote #1

The truth, whether we admit it or not, is that grace scares us to death. It scares us primarily because it wrestles control and manageability out of our hands - introducing chaos and freedom Picture Quote #1

Holy Saturday. The best reminder that the silence of God doesn’t equal the absence of God Picture Quote #1

The good news of the gospel [for sufferers] is not an exhortation from above to ‘hang on at all costs,’ or ‘grin and bear it’ in the midst of hardship. No, the good news is that God is hanging on to you, and in the end, when all is said and done, the power of God will triumph over every pain and loss Picture Quote #1

The gospel sets us free to become the romantic leaders of our marriages without fright or hesitation. Because we have been forever wooed by Jesus, we are now free to forever woo our wives Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

The Gospel frees us to speak honestly about the reality of pain, confident that nothing is riding on our ability to cope with or fend off suffering Picture Quote #1

For the life of the believer, one thing is beautifully and abundantly true: God’s chief concern in your suffering is to be with you and be Himself for you. And in the end, what we discover is that this really is enough Picture Quote #1

The Gospel announces that Jesus came to acquit the guilty. He came to judge and be judged in our place. Christ came to satisfy the deep judgment against us once and for all so that we could be free from the judgement of God, others, and ourselves Picture Quote #1

At some level, every relationship is assaulted by an aroma of judgment - this sense that we will never measure up to the expectations and demands of another Picture Quote #1

Believe it or not, Christianity is not about good people getting better. If anything, it is good news for bad people coping with their failure to be good Picture Quote #1

If you feel compelled to respond every time you’re criticized it reveals just how much you’ve built your identity on being right Picture Quote #1

I became frustrated with myself for not being as sturdy and unquestioning as I knew a man in my position should be Picture Quote #1

For the life of the believer, one thing is beautifully and abundantly true: God’s chief concern in your suffering is to be with you and be himself for you Picture Quote #1
