Timothy Keller
Image
Where you find your significance is where you find your salvation.
Timothy Keller
Image
What the heart most wants, the mind finds reasonable, the will finds doable, and the emotions find desirable.
Timothy Keller
Image
Out of the cross comes the resurrection. Out of weakness comes real strength.
Timothy Keller
Image
Christians don't believe that goodness gets you to heaven. Christians believe it's exhausting to rely on your own goodness to please God.
Timothy Keller
Image
Faith in God's promises means not always following the expected, rational path.
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.
Timothy Keller
Image
God will only give you what you would have asked for if you knew everything he knows
Timothy Keller
Image
God looks at the anxious and says, I tore my Son to shreds for you, and you're afraid I will not give you what you need?
