How does Satan accuse us? By causing us to look at our sin rather than our Savior.
Timothy Keller

After creation God said, 'It is finished'-and he rested. After redemption Jesus said, 'It is finished'-and we can rest.
Timothy Keller
Image
Every other religion points to answers. Jesus, though, says 'I am the answer'.
Timothy Keller
Image
Because creation was made in the image of a God who is equally one and many, the human race will finally be reunited and our racial and cultural diversity will remain intact in the renewed world. The human race finally lives together in peace and interdependence. Glory to God in the highest goes with peace on earth.
Timothy Keller
Image
We can only grasp the gospel's sweetness if we first grapple with its offense- you can't save yourself.
Timothy Keller
Image
Christianity does not set faith against thinking. It sets faith against assuming.
