Here's one way I can know that I've forgotten the gospel of grace: when your sin bothers me more than my sin.
Tullian TchividjianI've got three kids. I worry about them but the gospel freed me and freed my wife. We are not trying to make our kids think that we're super spiritual or we've got it all together. They see mom and dad being real people. What they hear dad talking about at home is not different from what they see from dad [at church]. That won't guarantee that they'll avoid the whole PK, MK thing. But we are hopefully not contributing to what normally produces that crisis, which is pretending.
Tullian TchividjianIf you feel compelled to respond every time you're criticized it reveals just how much you've built your identity on being right.
