More quotes by Timothy Keller
If there is a God, you owe him far more than a morally decent life.
Timothy Keller
If we have not seen our sin and sought radical forgiveness from God, we will be unable to forgive and to seek the good of those who have wronged us.
Timothy Keller
We can only grasp the gospel's sweetness if we first grapple with its offense- you can't save yourself.
Timothy Keller
Easter means that Christmas worked.
Timothy Keller
We think that idols are bad things, but that is almost never the case. The greater the good, the more likely we are to expect that it can satisfy our deepest needs and hopes. Anything can serve as a counterfeit god, especially the very best things in life.
Timothy Keller
Tolerance isn't about not having beliefs. It's about how your beliefs lead you to treat people who disagree with you.
Timothy Keller
The world is polarizing over religion. It is getting both more religious and less religious at the same time.
Timothy Keller
Christians necessarily believe we depend on God for everything-a prayerless Christian, then, is a contradiction in terms.
Timothy Keller
You are more sinful than you could dare imagine and you are more loved and accepted than you could ever dare hope.
Timothy Keller
All I know is, if I don't care about the poor, if my church doesn't care about the poor, that's evil.
Timothy Keller
If we pick out which parts of the Bible we dislike, we actually have a god we've created. How can that god ever call you out on anything?
Timothy Keller
Mercy and forgiveness must be free and unmerited to the wrongdoer. If the wrongdoer has to do something to merit it, then it isn’t mercy, but forgiveness always comes at a cost to the one granting the forgiveness.
Timothy Keller
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
Jesus Christ doesn’t just give us truths he is the truth. Jesus Christ is the prophet to end all prophets. He gives us hard-copy words from God, truths on which we can build our lives, truths we have to submit to, truths we have to obey, and truths we have to build our lives on, but he himself is the truth.
Timothy Keller
The church is not a museum for pristine saints, but a hospital ward for broken sinners.
Timothy Keller
Where you find your significance is where you find your salvation.
Timothy Keller
It’s a mistake to think that you must feel love to give it.
Timothy Keller
A genuinely persuasive argument does not merely tell you that you are wrong about everything. It doesn't just beat on you from the outside. It comes inside your belief system, as it were, and affirms something you believe strongly. And then it says - well if you believe this (A) then why in the world can't you see that B is true?
Timothy Keller
A Christian is one who stops working to be saved, not one who stops working!
Timothy Keller
I am a Christian resident of New York City. I simply read things the other Manhattanites read (NY Times, New Yorker magazine, Wall Street Journal, and many of the books they read) plus all my Christian reading. I don't do anything special to understand skeptics. I also talk to a lot of skeptics and read things they point to.
