Christ's resurrection not only gives you hope for the future it gives you hope to handle your scars right now.
Timothy Keller

A Christian is one who stops working to be saved, not one who stops working!
Timothy Keller

Jesus' purpose is not to warm our hearts but to shatter our categories.
Timothy Keller
Image
God takes our misery and suffering so seriously that he was willing to take it on himself.
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
We think that idols are bad things, but that is almost never the case. The greater the good, the more likely we are to expect that it can satisfy our deepest needs and hopes. Anything can serve as a counterfeit god, especially the very best things in life.

All life-changing love is inconvenient.
Timothy Keller

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
If your god never disagrees with you, you might just be worshipping an idealized version of yourself.

Timothy Keller
Image
Jesus may ask of you far more than you planned to give, but He can give to you infinitely more than you dared ask or think.
Timothy Keller
Image
The story of Jesus changes our lives because it is true.
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
Pride is the carbon-monoxide of Sin. It silently and slowly kills you without you even knowing.
Timothy Keller
Image
When we try and use fear or pride to stop from sinning, we are forgetting that we sin because of either fear or pride.
Timothy Keller
Image
If you try to add to God's salvation you subtract. If you try to add to God's salvation you subtract. If you try to merit God's salvation you haven't believed at all, even if you try to do a little bit.
Timothy Keller
Image
Marriage does not so much bring you into confrontation with your spouse as confront you with yourself.
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'.
