When you listen and read one thinker, you become a clone… two thinkers, you become confused… ten thinkers, you’ll begin developing your own voice… two or three hundred thinkers, you become wise and develop your voice.

Image
We must go back again and again to the Gospel of Christ crucified, so that our hearts are more deeply gripped by the reality of what He did and who we are in Him.
Timothy Keller
Image
Where you find your significance is where you find your salvation.
Timothy Keller
Image
God has become human. The absolute has become particular. The ideal has become real. The divine has taken up a human nature.
Timothy Keller
Image
If you aren't constantly astonished at God's grace in your solitude, there's no way it can happen in public.
Timothy Keller
Image
Most apologetic books are really written for Christians, even the ones that purport to be written for non-believers.
Timothy Keller
Image
No one is exempt from trials and tribulations. In fact, this is often what happens to people God loves very much, for it is part of God’s often mysterious and good plan for turning us into something great.
Timothy Keller
Image
The gospel is this: We are more sinful and flawed in ourselves than we ever dared believe, yet at the very same time we are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ than we ever dared hope.
Timothy Keller
Image
Jesus is the ultimate Job, the only truly innocent sufferer.
Timothy Keller
Image
Those who understand the gospel cannot possibly look down on anyone, since they were saved by sheer grace, not by their perfect doctrine or strong moral character.
Timothy Keller

We think that idols are bad things, but that is almost never the case. The greater the good, the more likely we are to expect that it can satisfy our deepest needs and hopes. Anything can serve as a counterfeit god, especially the very best things in life.
Timothy Keller
Image
If God exists then every good endeavor, even the simplest ones, pursued in response to God's calling can matter forever.
Timothy Keller
Image
Faith in God's promises means not always following the expected, rational path.
Timothy Keller
Image
If you're a Christian how do you deal with stress without Jesus? You don't.
Timothy Keller
Image
The human heart is an idol factory that takes good things like a successful career, love, material possessions, even family, and turns them into ultimate things. Our hearts deify them as the center of our lives, because, we think, they can give us significance and security, safety and fulfillment, if we attain them.
Timothy Keller
Image
The irreligious don't repent at all and the religious only repent of sins. But Christians repent of their wrongfully placed righteousness.
Timothy Keller
Image
Christ will do everything for you or nothing. He's either all of your righteousness or none.
Timothy Keller
Image
You cannot have Jesus' rescue without accepting His rule.
Timothy Keller
Image
If our identity is in our work, rather than Christ, success will go to our heads, and failure will go to our hearts.
Timothy Keller
Image
Easter means that Christmas worked.
Timothy Keller
Image
When you experience God it is deeply personal, but it's not at all private.
