The human heart is an idol factory that takes good things like a successful career, love, material possessions, even family, and turns them into ultimate things.

Timothy Keller
Image
To say doctrine doesn't matter, only how you live matters, is itself a doctrine. It's the doctrine of salvation by works.
Timothy Keller
Image
We must neither confuse evangelism with doing justice, nor separate them from one another.
Timothy Keller
Image
The purpose of Jesus's coming is to put the whole world right, to renew and restore the creation, not to escape it.
Timothy Keller
Image
The Gospel is the deepest consolation you can offer to the human heart.
Timothy Keller
Image
Religion: 'My identity is built on being a good person.' Gospel: 'My identity is not built on my record or my performance but on Christ's.'
