The more you understand how your salvation isn't about your behavior, the more radically your behavior will change.
Timothy Keller
Image
Prayer should be done regularly, persistently, resolutely, and tenaciously at least daily, whether we feel like it or not.
Timothy Keller
Image
Our culture says that feelings of love are the basis for actions of love. And of course that can be true. But it is truer to say that actions of love can lead consistently to feelings of love.
Timothy Keller
Image
If we are deeply moved by the sight of his love for us, it detaches our hearts from other would-be saviors. We stop trying to redeem ourselves through our pursuits and relationships, because we are already redeemed. We stop trying to make others into saviors, because we have a Savior.
Timothy Keller
Image
You can't live the Christian life without a band of Christian friends, without a family of believers in which you find a place.
Timothy Keller
Image
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
Image
If Jesus rose from the dead, then you have to accept all that he said if he didn't rise from the dead, then why worry about any of what he said? The issue on which everything hangs is not whether or not you like his teaching but whether or not he rose from the dead.
Timothy Keller
Image

Timothy Keller
Image
Jesus experienced homelessness at Christmas so that we could experience a love we could never lose.
Timothy Keller
Image
No one is so good that they don’t need the grace of the gospel, nor so bad that they can’t receive the grace of the gospel.
Timothy Keller
Image
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
Image
Prayer-though it is often draining, even an agony-is in the long term the greatest source of power that is possible.
Timothy Keller
Image
A Christian is one who stops working to be saved, not one who stops working!
Timothy Keller
Image
Marriage does not so much bring you into confrontation with your spouse as confront you with yourself.
Timothy Keller
Image
Pride is that which claims to be the author of what is really a gift.
Timothy Keller
Image
The world is a dark place, and yet the coming of Jesus Christ shows us no one and nothing is hopeless.
Timothy Keller
Image
While we want doubts to give way to faith, we should be merciful and patient with those who are still in a doubt-troubled place.
