No one is exempt from trials and tribulations. In fact, this is often what happens to people God loves very much, for it is part of God’s often mysterious and good plan for turning us into something great.

Christianity is not just for the strong it's for everyone.
Timothy Keller
Image
Just because we don't see a reason for evil and suffering doesn't mean there's not a reason for it.
Timothy Keller
Image
Every religion has a prophet who is pointing people to God. Jesus is the only one who says, 'I am God, and I am coming to find you.'
Timothy Keller
Image
People only get in the afterlife what they have most wanted-either to have God as Savior and Master or to be their own Saviors and Masters.
Timothy Keller
Image
Life changing repentance begins where blame shifting ends.
Timothy Keller
Image
If we can't love the sinner hate the sin then how can we relate to ourselves? Love who we are in Christ but still hate the sin remaining.
Timothy Keller
Image
The Christian gospel is that I am so flawed that Jesus had to die for me, yet I am so loved and valued that Jesus was glad to die for me.
Timothy Keller
Image
If we are deeply moved by the sight of his love for us, it detaches our hearts from other would-be saviors. We stop trying to redeem ourselves through our pursuits and relationships, because we are already redeemed. We stop trying to make others into saviors, because we have a Savior.

What is an idol? It is anything more important to you than God, anything that absorbs your heart and imagination more than God, anything you seek to give you what only God can give.
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
Jesus Christ doesn’t just give us truths he is the truth. Jesus Christ is the prophet to end all prophets. He gives us hard-copy words from God, truths on which we can build our lives, truths we have to submit to, truths we have to obey, and truths we have to build our lives on, but he himself is the truth.

To preach the gospel is to show people their need for salvation against a backdrop of God's nature and the character of sin, and then present Jesus as the only remedy for what ails them and the world. In my weekly preaching in the worship services I always call people to believe in Christ.

The primary means-of-reviva l that everyone agrees upon is extraordinary prayer.
Timothy Keller
Image
Pride is the carbon-monoxide of Sin. It silently and slowly kills you without you even knowing.
Timothy Keller
Image
Revival occurs as a group of people who, on the whole, think they already know the gospel discover they do not really or fully know it, and by embracing the gospel they cross over into living faith.
Timothy Keller

Suffering is unbearable if you aren’t certain that God is for you and with you.

I hate the moment when suddenly my anger turns into tears
