There seems to be a human instinct for prayer. Swiss theologian Karl Barth calls it our 'incurable God-sickness.'
Timothy Keller
Image
Love is counting someone else’s needs and interests as more important than your own needs or interests or comfort.
Timothy Keller
Image
Jesus is not asking us to do anything for him that he hasn’t already done for us, under conditions of difficulty beyond our comprehension.
Timothy Keller
Image
The common moral framework: Do anything as long as it does no harm to others. Problem: Whose definition of harm?
Timothy Keller
Image
Change won’t happen through ‘trying harder’ but only through encountering the radical grace of God.
Timothy Keller
Image
Prayer-though it is often draining, even an agony-is in the long term the greatest source of power that is possible.
Timothy Keller
Image
The sin under all other sins is a lack of joy in Christ.
Timothy Keller
Image
Unless you point to the good news of God's grace people will not be able to bear the bad news of God's judgement.
