The key to continual and deeper spiritual renewal and revival is the continual re-discovery of the gospel.
Timothy Keller
Image
God looks at the anxious and says, I tore my Son to shreds for you, and you're afraid I will not give you what you need?
Timothy Keller
Image
Christ will do everything for you or nothing. He's either all of your righteousness or none.
Timothy Keller
Image
A triune God would call us to converse with him . . . because he wants to share the joy he has. Prayer is our way of entering into the happiness of God himself.
Timothy Keller
Image
If you're avoiding sin and living morally so that God will have to bless you and save you, then you may be looking to Jesus as a teacher, model, and helper, but ironically you are avoiding him as Savior. You are trusting in your own goodness rather than in Jesus for your standing with God.
Timothy Keller
Image
Your heart is smothering under your small ambitions.
Timothy Keller
Image
The main human problems often are that we misidentify what will make us happy and we ask people and things to save us beyond their ability.
Timothy Keller
Image
Look at Jesus Christ. Every time he was in trouble he used the Word of God. When he was tempted he used the Word. When he was suffering on the cross he used the Word.
Timothy Keller

The gospel is this: We are more sinful and flawed in ourselves than we ever dared believe, yet at the very same time we are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ than we ever dared hope.
Timothy Keller
Image
Disordered love always leads to misery and breakdown. The only way to 'reorder' our loves is to love God supremely.
Timothy Keller

Timothy Keller
Image
I hate the moment when suddenly my anger turns into tears
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
To fail to pray, then, is not to merely break some religious rule- it is a failure to treat God as God.
Timothy Keller
Image
Freedom is not the absence of limitations and constraints but it is finding the right ones, those that fit our nature and liberate us.
Timothy Keller
Image
By praying with friends, you will be able to hear and see facets of Jesus that you have not yet perceived.
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
Image
Pride is the carbon-monoxide of Sin. It silently and slowly kills you without you even knowing.
Timothy Keller
Image
If you didn't earn your salvation how are you going to un-earn it?
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.
