A genuinely persuasive argument does not merely tell you that you are wrong about everything. It doesn't just beat on you from the outside.

A Christian is one who stops working to be saved, not one who stops working!
Timothy Keller
Image
Nothing we formulate or do can qualify us for access to God. Only grace can do that- based not on our performance but on the saving work of Christ.
Timothy Keller
Image
On the cross Jesus was treated as an outcast so that we could be brought into God's family freely by grace.
Timothy Keller

The ministry of mercy, then, is the best advertising a church can have. It convinces a community that this church provides people with actions for their problems, not only talk. It shows the community that this church is compassionate.
Timothy Keller
Image
Friendship is a deep oneness that develops when two people, speaking the truth in love to one another, journey together to the same horizon.
Timothy Keller
Image
