More quotes by Timothy Keller
By praying with friends, you will be able to hear and see facets of Jesus that you have not yet perceived.
Timothy Keller
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
Christianity does not provide the reason for each experience of pain, but it does provide deep resources for actually facing suffering with hope and courage rather than bitterness and despair
Timothy Keller
Disordered love always leads to misery and breakdown. The only way to 'reorder' our loves is to love God supremely.
Timothy Keller
Jesus smashed two of the rich young ruler's assumptions: Christianity is something you can ADD and something you can DO.
Timothy Keller
Easter means that Christmas worked.
Timothy Keller

Timothy Keller
Prayer is continuing a conversation that God has started through his Word and his grace, which eventually becomes a full encounter with him.
Timothy Keller

Timothy Keller
If anything becomes more fundamental than God to your happiness, meaning of life, and identity then it is an idol.
Timothy Keller
What is an idol? It is anything more important to you than God, anything that absorbs your heart and imagination more than God, anything you seek to give you what only God can give.
Timothy Keller
One of the most frequent responses I get from non-Christian readers is: 'I'm not sure I agree with all this, but I must say this is the first book I've read by a Christian that didn't treat me like I was an idiot.'
Timothy Keller
If you are trying to live a life in accordance with the Bible, the concept and call to justice are inescapable. We do justice when we give all human beings their due as creations of God. Doing justice includes not only the righting of wrongs but generosity and social concern, especially toward the poor and vulnerable.
Timothy Keller
The world values power, comfort, success, and recognition. Jesus frees us to value grief, sacrifice, weakness, and exclusion.
Timothy Keller
The essence of forgiveness is absorbing pain instead of giving it.
Timothy Keller
No one is too bad for Jesus. A lot of people think they are too good for Jesus.
Timothy Keller
At the end of history the whole earth has become the Garden of God again. Death and decay and suffering are gone. . . . Jesus will make the world our perfect home again. We will no longer be living 'east of Eden,' always wandering and never arriving. We will come, and the father will meet us and embrace us, and we will be brought into the feast.
Timothy Keller
People only get in the afterlife what they have most wanted-either to have God as Savior and Master or to be their own Saviors and Masters.
Timothy Keller
Jesus came into this world not as a philosopher or a general but as a carpenter. All work matters to God.
Timothy Keller
Change won’t happen through ‘trying harder’ but only through encountering the radical grace of God.
Timothy Keller
