If you aren't constantly astonished at God's grace in your solitude, there's no way it can happen in public.
Timothy Keller
Image
If Jesus rose from the dead, then you have to accept all that he said if he didn't rise from the dead, then why worry about any of what he said? The issue on which everything hangs is not whether or not you like his teaching but whether or not he rose from the dead.
Timothy Keller
Image
The secret to freedom from enslaving patterns of sin is worship. You need worship. You need great worship. You need weeping worship. You need glorious worship. You need to sense God’s greatness and to be moved it — moved to tears and moved to laughter — moved by who God is and what he has done for you.
Timothy Keller
Image
Christians necessarily believe we depend on God for everything-a prayerless Christian, then, is a contradiction in terms.
Timothy Keller
Image
Doing justice includes not only the righting of wrongs but generosity and social concern, especially toward the poor and vulnerable.
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.
Timothy Keller
Image
We must go back again and again to the Gospel of Christ crucified, so that our hearts are more deeply gripped by the reality of what He did and who we are in Him.
Timothy Keller
Image
How could a good, all-powerful God allow suffering?
Timothy Keller
Image
Our culture says that feelings of love are the basis for actions of love. And of course that can be true. But it is truer to say that actions of love can lead consistently to feelings of love.
Timothy Keller
Image
If his suffering did not make Jesus give up on us, nothing will.
Timothy Keller
Image
Everyone says they want community and friendship. But mention accountability or commitment to people, and they run the other way.
Timothy Keller
Image
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.

Like a surgeon, friends cut you in order to heal you.
Timothy Keller
Image
Most apologetic books are really written for Christians, even the ones that purport to be written for non-believers.
Timothy Keller
Image
Jesus is the ultimate Job, the only truly innocent sufferer.
Timothy Keller
Image
[T]he main problem in life is sin, and the only solution is God and his grace. The alternative to this view is to identify something besides sin as the main problem with the world and something besides God as the main remedy. That demonizes something that is not completely bad, and makes an idol out of something that cannot be the ultimate good.
Timothy Keller
Image
While marriage is many things, it is anything but sentimental. Marriage is glorious but hard. It's a burning joy and strength, and yet it is also blood, sweat, and tears humbling defeats and exhausting victories.
Timothy Keller
Image
Marriage is so much like salvation and our relationship with Christ that you can’t understand marriage w/o looking at the gospel.
Timothy Keller
Image
Big cities have a lot of 'younger brothers' who have left traditional parts of the world and their families for a more liberal lifestyle. But cities are filled to the gills with 'elder brothers' too.
Timothy Keller
Image
Prayer is awe before an infinite force, and yet it's intimacy with a personal friend.
