More quotes by Timothy Keller

Image
Religion poses a danger of creating division or intolerance between groups of people. However, the gospel of Jesus lead us to three things: humble service, reconciling behavior that is neither patronizing nor self-righteous, and a love toward people who hold different beliefs than we do.
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
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
To say doctrine doesn't matter, only how you live matters, is itself a doctrine. It's the doctrine of salvation by works.
Timothy Keller
Image
Your heart is smothering under your small ambitions.
Timothy Keller
Image
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 key to continual and deeper spiritual renewal and revival is the continual re-discovery of the gospel.
Timothy Keller
Image
If you have money, power, and status today, it is due to the century and place in which you were born, to your talents and capacities and health, none of which you earned. In short, all your resources are in the end the gift of God.
Timothy Keller
Image
It’s a mistake to think that you must feel love to give it.
Timothy Keller
Image
How does Satan accuse us? By causing us to look at our sin rather than our Savior.
Timothy Keller
Image
Nobody who understands the free grace of God takes sin lightly.
Timothy Keller
Image
We need to remember that we are saved by grace when we fail. But we need to remember it much more when we succeed.
Timothy Keller
Image
Every other religion points to answers. Jesus, though, says 'I am the answer'.
Timothy Keller
Image
You are a totally loved moral failure.
Timothy Keller
Image
Christ will do everything for you or nothing. He's either all of your righteousness or none.
Timothy Keller
Image
Our need for worth is so powerful that whatever we base our identity and value on we essentially 'deify.' We will look to it with all the passion and intensity of worship and devotion, even if we think ourselves as highly irreligious.
Timothy Keller
Image
Love is the effort and desire to make someone else everything they were created to be.
Timothy Keller
Image
We have to be careful not to elevate our preferences to moral standards and judge others by them. We only do so to feel superior.
