If you are trying to live a life in accordance with the Bible, the concept and call to justice are inescapable. We do justice when we give all human beings their due as creations of God. Doing justice includes not only the righting of wrongs but generosity and social concern, especially toward the poor and vulnerable.
Timothy Keller

The main problem in the Christian life is that we have not thought out the deep implications of the gospel, we have not 'used' the gospel in and on all parts of our life.
Timothy Keller
Image
Adam wasn't lonely because he was imperfect but because he was perfect. The ache for friends is not the result of sin.
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.
Timothy Keller
Image
We are called not simply to communicate the gospel to nonbelievers we must also intentionally celebrate the gospel before them.
Timothy Keller
Image
We only fully grasp the gospel when we understand, as Paul did, that we are the worst sinner we know
