[T]he main problem in life is sin, and the only solution is God and his grace.

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.

Happiness is a by-product of wanting something more than happiness-to be rightly related to God and our neighbor.
Timothy Keller

Image
Most people want Jesus as a consultant rather than a King, and He does not come that way.
Timothy Keller
Image
The sin under all other sins is a lack of joy in Christ.
