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.

I am going to judge my circumstances by Jesus’ love, not Jesus’ love by my circumstances.
Timothy Keller
Image
Any person who only sticks with Christianity as long as things are going his or her way, is a stranger to the cross
Timothy Keller
Image
At the cross, we see the worst that sin can do, as humanity - of which each one of us is a part - crucified the Lord. But at the cross, we also see that the most that sin can do cannot thwart God's salvation.
Timothy Keller
Image
Covenant community is like air. We don't miss it until we need it.
Timothy Keller
Image
Our culture says that feelings of love are the basis for actions of love. And of course that can be true. But it is truer to say that actions of love can lead consistently to feelings of love.
Timothy Keller
Image
Prayer is never just an emergency flare or desperate anxious gamble. God's attention is not based on our performance but parental love.
Timothy Keller
Image
A genuinely persuasive argument does not merely tell you that you are wrong about everything. It doesn't just beat on you from the outside. It comes inside your belief system, as it were, and affirms something you believe strongly. And then it says - well if you believe this (A) then why in the world can't you see that B is true?

Jesus does not just bring good news he is the good news.
Timothy Keller

If you didn't earn your salvation how are you going to un-earn it?
Timothy Keller

Fear, logic, and tradition are not going to make you live a good life when no one is looking.
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
Image
While marriage is many things, it is anything but sentimental. Marriage is glorious but hard. It's a burning joy and strength, and yet it is also blood, sweat, and tears humbling defeats and exhausting victories.
Timothy Keller
Image
To preach the gospel is to show people their need for salvation against a backdrop of God's nature and the character of sin, and then present Jesus as the only remedy for what ails them and the world. In my weekly preaching in the worship services I always call people to believe in Christ.
Timothy Keller
Image
If his suffering did not make Jesus give up on us, nothing will.
Timothy Keller
Image
We were designed to know, serve, and love God supremely - and when we are faithful to that design, we flourish.
Timothy Keller
Image
The gospel is not just the A-B-C's but the A-Z of Christianity. The gospel is not just the minimum required doctrine necessary to enter the kingdom, but the way we make all progress in the kingdom.
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
Through the person and work of Jesus Christ, God fully accomplishes salvation for us, rescuing us from judgment for sin into fellowship with him, and then restores the creation in which we can enjoy our new life together with him forever.
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
It is possible to avoid Jesus as Savior as much by keeping all the Biblical rules as by breaking them.
