If you don't love the poor, you don't know what God's done for you.
Timothy Keller
Image
God has become human. The absolute has become particular. The ideal has become real. The divine has taken up a human nature.
Timothy Keller
Image
Falling in love in a Christian way is to say,'I am excited about your future and I want to be part of getting you there. I'm signing up for the journey with you. Would you sign up for the journey to my true self with me? It's going to be hard but I want to get there.

If you are trying to live a life in accordance with the Bible, the concept and call to justice are inescapable. We do justice when we give all human beings their due as creations of God. Doing justice includes not only the righting of wrongs but generosity and social concern, especially toward the poor and vulnerable.
Timothy Keller
Image
There seems to be a human instinct for prayer. Swiss theologian Karl Barth calls it our 'incurable God-sickness.'
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
Occasionally God rips aside the veil, and you begin to see this very fact: All things happen for you. All things. Everything is knit together.
Timothy Keller
Image
If you wait until your motives are pure and unselfish before you do something, you will wait forever.
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.
Timothy Keller
Image
Religion makes us proud of what we have done. The Gospel makes us proud of what Jesus has done.
Timothy Keller
Image
Accepted in Christ, we now run the race 'for the joy that is set before us' rather than 'for fear that comes behind us'.
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.
