That demonizes something that is not completely bad, and makes an idol out of something that cannot be the ultimate good.

Timothy Keller
Image
Every treasure on this earth says, 'Give your life to purchase me.' Jesus says 'I'm the one treasure who died to purchase you.'
Timothy Keller
Image
If you have a small view of your sin, God's grace will be small to you.
Timothy Keller
Image
You don't fall in love. You commit to it.
Timothy Keller
Image
Just because we don't see a reason for evil and suffering doesn't mean there's not a reason for it.
Timothy Keller
Image
If you're a Christian how do you deal with stress without Jesus? You don't.
Timothy Keller
Image
Suffering is the stripping of our hope in finite things, therefore we do not put our ultimate hope in anything finite.
Timothy Keller
