The gospel is not just the A-B-C's but the A-Z of Christianity. The gospel is not just the minimum required doctrine necessary to enter the kingdom, but the way we make all progress in the kingdom.

The Gospel does not promise you better life circumstances it promises you a better life.
Timothy Keller

In every other religion the indicative flows from the imperative. Which means, ‘because I do, therefore I am... because I do this, therefore I’m a child of God.’ But only in Christianity does the imperative flow from the indicative. ‘Because I am in Christ all these things, therefore I obey.’ Exactly the opposite.

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.'

There is no way to have a real relationship without becoming vulnerable to hurt. Christmas tells us that God became breakable and fragile. God became someone we could hurt. Why? To get us back... No other religion-whethe r secularism, Greco-Roman paganism, Eastern religion, Judaism, or Islam-believes God became breakable or suffered or had a body.

Timothy Keller

Living is giving....If you spend your money on yourself, you are just surviving. But if you want your life to count, if you want to really live - give.

While your character flaws may have created mild problems for other people, they will create major problems for your spouse and your marriage.
Timothy Keller
Image
Our need for worth is so powerful that whatever we base our identity and value on we essentially 'deify.' We will look to it with all the passion and intensity of worship and devotion, even if we think ourselves as highly irreligious.
Timothy Keller
Image
God sees us as we are, loves us as we are, and accepts us as we are. But by His grace, He does not leave us as we are.
Timothy Keller
Image
Life changing repentance begins where blame shifting ends.
Timothy Keller
Image
Tolerance isn't about not having beliefs. It's about how your beliefs lead you to treat people who disagree with you.
Timothy Keller
Image
The world is a dark place, and yet the coming of Jesus Christ shows us no one and nothing is hopeless.

Jesus does not just bring good news he is the good news.
