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. It comes inside your belief system, as it were, and affirms something you believe strongly. And then it says - well if you believe this (A) then why in the world can't you see that B is true?

The primary means-of-reviva l that everyone agrees upon is extraordinary prayer.

When we try and use fear or pride to stop from sinning, we are forgetting that we sin because of either fear or pride.

Marriage has the power to set the course of your life as a whole. If your marriage is strong, even if all the circumstances in your life around you are filled with trouble and weakness, it won't matter. You will be able to move out into the world in strength.

No writer or thinker has taught me as much as James Hunter has about this all-important and complex subject of how culture is changed.

It is possible to avoid Jesus as Savior as much by keeping all the Biblical rules as by breaking them.
Timothy Keller

When you listen and read one thinker, you become a clone… two thinkers, you become confused… ten thinkers, you’ll begin developing your own voice… two or three hundred thinkers, you become wise and develop your voice.
Timothy Keller

Nobody who understands the free grace of God takes sin lightly.
Timothy Keller
Image
Mercy and forgiveness must be free and unmerited to the wrongdoer. If the wrongdoer has to do something to merit it, then it isn’t mercy, but forgiveness always comes at a cost to the one granting the forgiveness.

Jesus smashed two of the rich young ruler's assumptions: Christianity is something you can ADD and something you can DO.
Timothy Keller
Image
Out of the cross comes the resurrection. Out of weakness comes real strength.

Prayer can be simple, but it's not easy. Nothing great is.

God loves you just because He loves you.

I am a Christian resident of New York City. I simply read things the other Manhattanites read (NY Times, New Yorker magazine, Wall Street Journal, and many of the books they read) plus all my Christian reading. I don't do anything special to understand skeptics. I also talk to a lot of skeptics and read things they point to.
