Suffering is unbearable if you aren’t certain that God is for you and with you.

The ministry of mercy, then, is the best advertising a church can have. It convinces a community that this church provides people with actions for their problems, not only talk. It shows the community that this church is compassionate.
Timothy Keller
Image
Our need for worth is so powerful that whatever we base our identity and value on we essentially 'deify.' We will look to it with all the passion and intensity of worship and devotion, even if we think ourselves as highly irreligious.
Timothy Keller
Image
Jesus's miracles are not just a challenge to our minds, but a promise to our hearts, that the world we all want is coming.
Timothy Keller
Image
At the cross, we see the worst that sin can do, as humanity - of which each one of us is a part - crucified the Lord. But at the cross, we also see that the most that sin can do cannot thwart God's salvation.
Timothy Keller
Image
We only fully grasp the gospel when we understand, as Paul did, that we are the worst sinner we know
Timothy Keller

The Gospel is the deepest consolation you can offer to the human heart.
