Quote

Look at Jesus Christ. Every time he was in trouble he used the Word of God. When he was tempted he used the Word. When he was suffering on the cross he used the Word.

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

Change won’t happen through ‘trying harder’ but only through encountering the radical grace of God.
Timothy Keller
Image
Suffering is unbearable if you aren’t certain that God is for you and with you.
Timothy Keller
Image
[T]he main problem in life is sin, and the only solution is God and his grace. The alternative to this view is to identify something besides sin as the main problem with the world and something besides God as the main remedy. That demonizes something that is not completely bad, and makes an idol out of something that cannot be the ultimate good.

The best things that have been written, almost, are by Catholics during the counter Reformation: Ignatius of Loyola, St. Francis de Sales, John of the Cross, St. Theresa of Бvila.....great stuff.

The secret to freedom from enslaving patterns of sin is worship. You need worship. You need great worship. You need weeping worship. You need glorious worship. You need to sense God’s greatness and to be moved it — moved to tears and moved to laughter — moved by who God is and what he has done for you.

Christianity is not just for the strong it's for everyone.

Just because we don't see a reason for evil and suffering doesn't mean there's not a reason for it.
Timothy Keller

The church is not a museum for pristine saints, but a hospital ward for broken sinners.
Timothy Keller
Image
The gospel is this: We are more sinful and flawed in ourselves than we ever dared believe, yet at the very same time we are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ than we ever dared hope.
Timothy Keller

When Job was prospering, he prayed. When he was suffering, he still prayed.
Timothy Keller
Image
If there is a God, you owe him far more than a morally decent life.
Timothy Keller
Image
Religion poses a danger of creating division or intolerance between groups of people. However, the gospel of Jesus lead us to three things: humble service, reconciling behavior that is neither patronizing nor self-righteous, and a love toward people who hold different beliefs than we do.
Timothy Keller

If you don't love the poor, you don't know what God's done for you.
Timothy Keller
Image
God has become human. The absolute has become particular. The ideal has become real. The divine has taken up a human nature.
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.

The main human problems often are that we misidentify what will make us happy and we ask people and things to save us beyond their ability.

To preach the gospel is to show people their need for salvation against a backdrop of God's nature and the character of sin, and then present Jesus as the only remedy for what ails them and the world. In my weekly preaching in the worship services I always call people to believe in Christ.
