We deserve to be forgotten because we forget Him. But because Jesus died on the cross, we will never, ever be forgotten by God.
Timothy Keller
Image
We were designed to know, serve, and love God supremely - and when we are faithful to that design, we flourish.
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
Nobody who understands the free grace of God takes sin lightly.
Timothy Keller
Image
The Gospel does not promise you better life circumstances it promises you a better life.
Timothy Keller
Image
The human heart is an idol factory that takes good things like a successful career, love, material possessions, even family, and turns them into ultimate things. Our hearts deify them as the center of our lives, because, we think, they can give us significance and security, safety and fulfillment, if we attain them.

Tolerance isn't about not having beliefs. It's about how your beliefs lead you to treat people who disagree with you.
Timothy Keller
Image
There is no way to have a real relationship without becoming vulnerable to hurt. Christmas tells us that God became breakable and fragile. God became someone we could hurt. Why? To get us back... No other religion-whethe r secularism, Greco-Roman paganism, Eastern religion, Judaism, or Islam-believes God became breakable or suffered or had a body.

If God exists then every good endeavor, even the simplest ones, pursued in response to God's calling can matter forever.
Timothy Keller

The world is polarizing over religion. It is getting both more religious and less religious at the same time.
Timothy Keller
Image
Faith is not opposed to reason, but it is sometimes opposed to feelings and appearances.
Timothy Keller
Image
I am so bad that He had to die. I am so loved that He was glad to die.
Timothy Keller
Image
The only love that won’t disappoint you is one that can’t change, that can’t be lost, that is not based on the ups and downs of life or of how well you live. It is something that not even death can take away from you. God’s love is the only thing like that.
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
Christianity is not just for the strong it's for everyone.
Timothy Keller
Image
Reason can get you to probability, but only commitment can get you to certainty.
Timothy Keller
Image
When you experience God it is deeply personal, but it's not at all private.
Timothy Keller
Image
Christianity does not set faith against thinking. It sets faith against assuming.
Timothy Keller
Image
After creation God said, 'It is finished'-and he rested. After redemption Jesus said, 'It is finished'-and we can rest.
Timothy Keller

It’s a mistake to think that you must feel love to give it.
