Tullian Tchividjian

God has hardwired me to thoroughly enjoy and be sharpened by good and friendly theological discussion about the gospel.

My observation of Christendom is that most of us tend to base our relationship with God on our performance instead of on His grace.

The Bible is plain that God requires moral perfection. It tells us unambiguously that God is holy and therefore cannot tolerate any hint of unholiness.

I was raised in the Baptist church... but I didn't really have a real committed experience with Christ until my father died.

I am a big one for subtlety and empathy. My dad was softly spoken and didn't carry his honours and accomplishments for everyone to see.

Me, my literary reputation is mostly abroad, but I am anchored here in New York. I can't think of any other place I'd rather die than here.
