More quotes by Timothy Keller
If you wait until your motives are pure and unselfish before you do something, you will wait forever.
Timothy Keller
The gospel is not just the A-B-C's but the A-Z of Christianity. The gospel is not just the minimum required doctrine necessary to enter the kingdom, but the way we make all progress in the kingdom.
Timothy Keller
Christ will do everything for you or nothing. He's either all of your righteousness or none.
Timothy Keller
Freedom is not the absence of limitations and constraints but it is finding the right ones, those that fit our nature and liberate us.
Timothy Keller
Pride is that which claims to be the author of what is really a gift.
Timothy Keller
There are some needs only you can see. There are some hands only you can hold. There are some people only you can reach.
Timothy Keller
While other worldviews lead us to sit in the midst of life’s joys, foreseeing the coming sorrows, Christianity empowers its people to sit in the midst of this world’s sorrows, tasting the coming joy.
Timothy Keller
Religion makes us proud of what we have done. The Gospel makes us proud of what Jesus has done.
Timothy Keller
If you have a small view of your sin, God's grace will be small to you.
Timothy Keller
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.
Timothy Keller
Christians should not be optimists we know too much about sin. We should also not be pessimists, for we know the living God.
Timothy Keller
We must have a strong inner life of fellowship and intimacy with Jesus if we are going to have a strong outer life of ministry
Timothy Keller
Jesus Christ was treated as we deserved so that when we believe in Jesus, God treats us as Jesus deserves.
Timothy Keller
Happiness is a by-product of wanting something more than happiness-to be rightly related to God and our neighbor.
Timothy Keller
If you don't feel like praying, pray to God to give you the desire.
Timothy Keller
All I know is, if I don't care about the poor, if my church doesn't care about the poor, that's evil.
Timothy Keller
Let us preach grace till humility just starts to grow in us.
Timothy Keller
We get angry when we feel like God owes us a better life than we have.
Timothy Keller
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
The Christian gospel is that I am so flawed that Jesus had to die for me, yet I am so loved and valued that Jesus was glad to die for me.
Timothy Keller
