The church does not simply have a missions department it should wholly exist to be a mission.
Timothy Keller
Image
God relentlessly offers his grace to people who do not deserve it, or seek it, or even appreciate it after they have been saved by it.
Timothy Keller
Image
It is possible to avoid Jesus as Savior as much by keeping all the Biblical rules as by breaking them.
Timothy Keller
Image
Only when our greatest love is God, a love that we cannot lose even in death, can we face all things with peace. Grief was not to be eliminated but seasoned and buoyed up with love and hope.
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
A god of less wrath than the God of the Bible is necessarily a god of less love. His anger is a product of his love.
Timothy Keller
Image
If you're avoiding sin and living morally so that God will have to bless you and save you, then you may be looking to Jesus as a teacher, model, and helper, but ironically you are avoiding him as Savior. You are trusting in your own goodness rather than in Jesus for your standing with God.
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.
Timothy Keller

If you say: I believed in God, I trusted God and He didn't come through - You only trusted God to meet your agenda.

Timothy Keller
Image
If the evolutionary mechanism of natural selection depends on death, destruction, and violence of the strong against the weak, then these things are perfectly natural. On what basis, then, does the atheist judge the natural world to be horribly wrong, unfair, and unjust?
Timothy Keller
Image
Jesus came into this world not as a philosopher or a general but as a carpenter. All work matters to God.
Timothy Keller
Image
You are more sinful than you could dare imagine and you are more loved and accepted than you could ever dare hope.
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
It is no more narrow to claim that one religion is right than to claim that one way to think about all religions is right.
Timothy Keller
Image
The Gospel is this: You're more sinful, evil and weak than you'd ever believe. But you're more valued, accepted and loved than you dared hope.
Timothy Keller
Image
You are a totally loved moral failure.
Timothy Keller
Image
No one is exempt from trials and tribulations. In fact, this is often what happens to people God loves very much, for it is part of God’s often mysterious and good plan for turning us into something great.
Timothy Keller
Image
While marriage is many things, it is anything but sentimental. Marriage is glorious but hard. It's a burning joy and strength, and yet it is also blood, sweat, and tears humbling defeats and exhausting victories.
Timothy Keller
Image
It takes pride to be anxious – I am not wise enough to know how my life should go.
