While our sin reaches far, God's grace reaches farther. God came after us not to strip away our freedom but to strip away our slavery to self, that we could become truly free.
Tullian TchividjianGod is not interested in what you think you should be or feel. He is not interested in the narrative you construct for yourself, or that others construct for you. Rather, He is interested in you, the you who suffers, the you who inflicts suffering on others, the you who hides, the you who has bad days (and good ones). And He meets you where you are.
Tullian TchividjianThe hub of Christianity is not "do something for Jesus." The hub of Christianity is "Jesus has done everything for you".
Tullian TchividjianAs long as I am focusing on the faults of others, then I don't have to face my own.
