Most people want Jesus as a consultant rather than a King, and He does not come that way.
Timothy Keller
Image
If anything becomes more fundamental than God to your happiness, meaning of life, and identity then it is an idol.
Timothy Keller
Image
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

Prayer should be done regularly, persistently, resolutely, and tenaciously at least daily, whether we feel like it or not.

There is no way to have a real relationship without becoming vulnerable to hurt. Christmas tells us that God became breakable and fragile. God became someone we could hurt. Why? To get us back... No other religion-whethe r secularism, Greco-Roman paganism, Eastern religion, Judaism, or Islam-believes God became breakable or suffered or had a body.

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
Image
We must neither confuse evangelism with doing justice, nor separate them from one another.
Timothy Keller
Image
If you have money, power, and status today, it is due to the century and place in which you were born, to your talents and capacities and health, none of which you earned. In short, all your resources are in the end the gift of God.
Timothy Keller
Image
Many times people think if God has called you to something, he's promising you success. He might be calling you to fail to prepare you for something else through the failure.
Timothy Keller
Image
If you need something in addition to God to make you happy, that is your true King.
Timothy Keller
Image
Whatever you base your life on--you have to live up to that. Jesus is the one Lord you can live for who already died for you.
Timothy Keller
Image
The gospel has two parts. It has the part that says you're a sinner, and it has the part that says you're loved and accepted.
Timothy Keller
Image
Christmas is telling you that you could never get to heaven on your own. God had to come to you.
Timothy Keller
Image
We must have a strong inner life of fellowship and intimacy with Jesus if we are going to have a strong outer life of ministry
Timothy Keller
Image
Prayer turns theology into experience.
Timothy Keller
Image
Accepted in Christ, we now run the race 'for the joy that is set before us' rather than 'for fear that comes behind us'.
Timothy Keller

Fear, logic, and tradition are not going to make you live a good life when no one is looking.
