Holy Saturday. The best reminder that the silence of God doesn't equal the absence of God.
Tullian TchividjianRemember on your best day that Jesus had to die for you. Remember on your worst day that he did.
Tullian TchividjianGrace is thickly counter-intuitive. It feels risky and unfair. It's dangerous and disorderly. It wrestles control out of our hands. It is wild and unsettling. It turns everything that makes sense to us upside-down and inside-out.
Tullian TchividjianSometimes God has to remind you that you're weak so that you can be set free from your "self-sufficiency."
Tullian TchividjianThe people who have taught me the most about grace are those who have blown it so bad that they know how much they need it.
Tullian TchividjianWhen 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.
