Jesus's miracles are not just a challenge to our minds, but a promise to our hearts, that the world we all want is coming.
Timothy Keller
Image
A Christian is somebody whose eyes have been opened, who admits that Jesus is not what you expected, but he’s what you need.
Timothy Keller
Image
Occasionally God rips aside the veil, and you begin to see this very fact: All things happen for you. All things. Everything is knit together.
Timothy Keller
Image
Christianity does not provide the reason for each experience of pain, but it does provide deep resources for actually facing suffering with hope and courage rather than bitterness and despair
Timothy Keller
Image

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
God sees us as we are, loves us as we are, and accepts us as we are. But by His grace, He does not leave us as we are.
