When you experience God it is deeply personal, but it's not at all private.
Timothy Keller
Image
How could a good, all-powerful God allow suffering?
Timothy Keller
Image
Unless you point to the good news of God's grace people will not be able to bear the bad news of God's judgement.
Timothy Keller
Image
The future is already won, and the more hostile the culture, the easier it is to communicate the difference of Christianity.
Timothy Keller
Image
Prayer is awe, intimacy, struggle-yet, the way to reality.
Timothy Keller
Image
The Gospel does not promise you better life circumstances it promises you a better life.
Timothy Keller
Image
One of the signs that you may not grasp the unique, radical nature of the gospel is that you are certain that you do.
Timothy Keller
Image
At the cross, we see the worst that sin can do, as humanity - of which each one of us is a part - crucified the Lord. But at the cross, we also see that the most that sin can do cannot thwart God's salvation.
Timothy Keller
Image
You are worse than you think you are, but also far more loved than you feel you are.
Timothy Keller
Image
If you're avoiding sin and living morally so that God will have to bless you and save you, then you may be looking to Jesus as a teacher, model, and helper, but ironically you are avoiding him as Savior. You are trusting in your own goodness rather than in Jesus for your standing with God.
Timothy Keller
Image
The peace of God is not the absence of fear. It, in fact, is His presence.
Timothy Keller
Image
Suffering dispels the illusion that we have the strength and competence to rule our own lives and save ourselves.
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
The ministry of mercy, then, is the best advertising a church can have. It convinces a community that this church provides people with actions for their problems, not only talk. It shows the community that this church is compassionate.
Timothy Keller
Image
You don't fall in love. You commit to it.
Timothy Keller
Image
In the secular view, suffering is never seen as a meaningful part of life but only as an interruption.
Timothy Keller
Image
If the preaching of our ministers and the practice of our parishioners do not have the same effect on people that Jesus had, then we must not be declaring the same message that Jesus did.
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
The world can’t save itself. That’s the message of Christmas.
Timothy Keller
Image
The more you understand how your salvation isn't about your behavior, the more radically your behavior will change.
