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 this world was made by a triune God, relationships of love are what life is really all about.
Timothy Keller
Image
When love of one's people becomes an absolute, it turns into racism. When love of equality turns into a supreme thing, it can result in hatred and violence toward anyone who has led a privileged life. It is the settled tendency of human societies to turn good political causes into counterfeit gods.
Timothy Keller
Image
God sees us as we are, loves us as we are, and accepts us as we are. But by His grace, He does not leave us as we are.
Timothy Keller
Image
The key to continual and deeper spiritual renewal and revival is the continual re-discovery of the gospel.

Where you find your significance is where you find your salvation.

To preach the gospel is to show people their need for salvation against a backdrop of God's nature and the character of sin, and then present Jesus as the only remedy for what ails them and the world. In my weekly preaching in the worship services I always call people to believe in Christ.

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
To be a Christian is a standing, a legal position. It means to be a child of God. You are or you are not, there is no try.
Timothy Keller
Image
If you wait until your motives are pure and unselfish before you do something, you will wait forever.
Timothy Keller
Image
Whatever you base your life on--you have to live up to that. Jesus is the one Lord you can live for who already died for you.
Timothy Keller
Image
We are regularly in danger of having too light a view of our sin and also too light a grasp of what Jesus has done to free us from our sin.
Timothy Keller
Image
If we give God things in hope that they'll earn us blessings, we're really not doing anything for him. It's for ourselves.
Timothy Keller
Image
Suffering is unbearable if you aren’t certain that God is for you and with you.
Timothy Keller
Image
Christianity does not set faith against thinking. It sets faith against assuming.
Timothy Keller
Image
Living is giving....If you spend your money on yourself, you are just surviving. But if you want your life to count, if you want to really live - give.
Timothy Keller
Image
The sin under all other sins is a lack of joy in Christ.
