The only love that won’t disappoint you is one that can’t change, that can’t be lost, that is not based on the ups and downs of life or of how well you live. It is something that not even death can take away from you. God’s love is the only thing like that.

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?

God loves you just because He loves you.
Timothy Keller
Image
If your god never disagrees with you, you might just be worshipping an idealized version of yourself.
Timothy Keller
Image
The church is not a museum for pristine saints, but a hospital ward for broken sinners.
Timothy Keller
Image
Repentance is like antiseptic. You pour antiseptic onto a wound and, at first, it stings. Then it heals.
Timothy Keller
Image
What the heart most wants, the mind finds reasonable, the will finds doable, and the emotions find desirable.
Timothy Keller
Image
Christians don't believe that goodness gets you to heaven. Christians believe it's exhausting to rely on your own goodness to please God.
Timothy Keller
Image
If you don't feel like praying, pray to God to give you the desire.
Timothy Keller
Image
Suffering is the stripping of our hope in finite things, therefore we do not put our ultimate hope in anything finite.
Timothy Keller
Image
God made you to love him supremely, but he lost you. He returned to get you back, but it took the cross to do it. He absorbed your darkness so that one day you can finally and dazzlingly become your true self and take your seat at his eternal feast.

God's grace and forgiveness, while free to the recipient, are always costly for the giver.
