The gospel is an exclusive truth but it's the most inclusive exclusive truth in the world.
Timothy Keller
Image
You are worse than you think you are, but also far more loved than you feel you are.

Religion says, 'I obey therefore I am accepted.' Christianity says, 'I'm accepted, therefore I obey.
Timothy Keller

The common moral framework: Do anything as long as it does no harm to others. Problem: Whose definition of harm?
Timothy Keller
Image
Any person who only sticks with Christianity as long as things are going his or her way, is a stranger to the cross
Timothy Keller
Image
Every religion has a prophet who is pointing people to God. Jesus is the only one who says, 'I am God, and I am coming to find you.'
Timothy Keller
Image
While we want doubts to give way to faith, we should be merciful and patient with those who are still in a doubt-troubled place.
