Our character is mainly shaped by our primary social community - the people with whom we eat, play, converse, and study.
Timothy Keller
Image
Our moral efforts are too feeble and falsely motivated to ever merit salvation.
Timothy Keller

The ministry of mercy, then, is the best advertising a church can have. It convinces a community that this church provides people with actions for their problems, not only talk. It shows the community that this church is compassionate.
Timothy Keller
Image
The rich brother needs to let the gospel humble him while the poor brother needs to let the gospel affirm him.
Timothy Keller
Image
The key to continual and deeper spiritual renewal and revival is the continual re-discovery of the gospel.
