I am a Christian resident of New York City. I simply read things the other Manhattanites read (NY Times, New Yorker magazine, Wall Street Journal, and many of the books they read) plus all my Christian reading. I don't do anything special to understand skeptics. I also talk to a lot of skeptics and read things they point to.

Reason can get you to probability, but only commitment can get you to certainty.
Timothy Keller

Adam wasn't lonely because he was imperfect but because he was perfect. The ache for friends is not the result of sin.

You are worse than you think you are, but also far more loved than you feel you are.

Our need for worth is so powerful that whatever we base our identity and value on we essentially 'deify.' We will look to it with all the passion and intensity of worship and devotion, even if we think ourselves as highly irreligious.
Timothy Keller
Image
When we try and use fear or pride to stop from sinning, we are forgetting that we sin because of either fear or pride.
Timothy Keller
Image
If his suffering did not make Jesus give up on us, nothing will.
Timothy Keller
Image
If we have not seen our sin and sought radical forgiveness from God, we will be unable to forgive and to seek the good of those who have wronged us.
Timothy Keller
Image
The Gospel is news of what God has done to reach us. It is not advice about what we must do to reach God.
Timothy Keller
Image
Christ will do everything for you or nothing. He's either all of your righteousness or none.
Timothy Keller
Image
The essence of forgiveness is absorbing pain instead of giving it.
Timothy Keller
Image
No matter what precautions we take, no matter how well we have put together a good life, no matter how hard we have worked to be healthy, wealthy, comfortable with friends and family, and successful with our career — something will inevitably ruin it.
Timothy Keller
Image
Without the gospel we hate ourselves instead of our sin.
Timothy Keller
Image
To say doctrine doesn't matter, only how you live matters, is itself a doctrine. It's the doctrine of salvation by works.
Timothy Keller
Image
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.
