We must go back again and again to the Gospel of Christ crucified, so that our hearts are more deeply gripped by the reality of what He did and who we are in Him.
Timothy Keller
Image
The Gospel is this: You're more sinful, evil and weak than you'd ever believe. But you're more valued, accepted and loved than you dared hope.
Timothy Keller
Image
You are a totally loved moral failure.
Timothy Keller
Image
If you come to recognize the beliefs on which your doubts about Christianity are based, and if you seek as much proof for those beliefs as you seek from Christians for theirs - you will discover that your doubts are not as solid as they first appeared.
Timothy Keller
Image
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
Image
God made you to love him supremely, but he lost you. He returned to get you back, but it took the cross to do it. He absorbed your darkness so that one day you can finally and dazzlingly become your true self and take your seat at his eternal feast.

While other worldviews lead us to sit in the midst of life’s joys, foreseeing the coming sorrows, Christianity empowers its people to sit in the midst of this world’s sorrows, tasting the coming joy.

To preach the gospel is to show people their need for salvation against a backdrop of God's nature and the character of sin, and then present Jesus as the only remedy for what ails them and the world. In my weekly preaching in the worship services I always call people to believe in Christ.

Love is the effort and desire to make someone else everything they were created to be.
Timothy Keller
Image
God sees us as we are, loves us as we are, and accepts us as we are. But by His grace, He does not leave us as we are.
Timothy Keller
Image
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
Image
A god of less wrath than the God of the Bible is necessarily a god of less love. His anger is a product of his love.
Timothy Keller
Image
Job never saw why he suffered, but he saw God, and that was enough.
Timothy Keller
Image
We modern people think of miracles as the suspension of the natural order, but Jesus meant them to be the restoration of the natural order.
Timothy Keller
Image
A Christian is one who stops working to be saved, not one who stops working!
Timothy Keller
Image
In a smaller church your pastoring sets up your preaching. In a larger church your preaching sets up your pastoring.

Image
The goal of prayer is not just the sharing of our ideas, but also of ourselves.
Timothy Keller
Image
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
Image
There are some needs only you can see. There are some hands only you can hold. There are some people only you can reach.

Anything can serve as a counterfeit god, especially the very best things in life.
