Christianity is not about good people getting better. If anything, it is good news for bad people coping with their failure to be good. The heart of the Christian faith is Good News, not good advice, good technique, or good behavior. Too many people have walked away from the church, not because theyโre walking away from Jesus, but because the church has walked away from Jesus.
Tullian TchividjianThe Christian life has been nothing more and nothing less than a daily dependence on and a rediscovery of God's grace.
Tullian TchividjianThe Bible is one long story of God meeting our rebellion with His rescue, our sin with His salvation, our guilt with His grace, our badness with His goodness. The overwhelming focus of the Bible is not the work of the redeemed but the work of the Redeemer. Which means that the Bible is not first a recipe for Christian living but a revelation book of Jesus who is the answer to our un-Christian living.
Tullian TchividjianSometimes God has to remind you that you're weak so that you can be set free from your "self-sufficiency."
