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

The only love that won’t disappoint you is one that can’t change, that can’t be lost, that is not based on the ups and downs of life or of how well you live. It is something that not even death can take away from you. God’s love is the only thing like that.

Through the person and work of Jesus Christ, God fully accomplishes salvation for us, rescuing us from judgment for sin into fellowship with him, and then restores the creation in which we can enjoy our new life together with him forever.
Timothy Keller
Image
Religion operates on the principle 'I obey-therefore I am accepted by God.' But the operating principle of the gospel is 'I am accepted by God through what Christ has done-therefore I obey.'
Timothy Keller
Image
If you wait until your motives are pure and unselfish before you do something, you will wait forever.
Timothy Keller

Most people want Jesus as a consultant rather than a King, and He does not come that way.
Timothy Keller
Image
The only person who dares wake up a king at 3:00 AM for a glass of water is a child. We have that kind of access

Image
When you experience God it is deeply personal, but it's not at all private.
Timothy Keller
Image
It takes both spouses to say, My self-centeredness is the main problem in my marriage to have a great marriage.
Timothy Keller
Image
It's impossible to have met the real Jesus and be indifferent. You either bow down in wonder OR go away offended.
Timothy Keller

Public faith means going public with what’s in your heart, with humility and respect for others, as we speak of the truth of the gospel.
