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.
Timothy Keller

Jesus' purpose is not to warm our hearts but to shatter our categories.
Timothy Keller
Image
Sin is not just breaking the rules, it is putting yourself in the place of God as Savior, Lord, and Judge… There are two ways to be your own Savior and Lord. One is by breaking all the moral laws and setting your own course, and one is by keeping all the moral laws and being very, very good.
Timothy Keller

Timothy Keller
Image
Jesus smashed two of the rich young ruler's assumptions: Christianity is something you can ADD and something you can DO.
Timothy Keller

Prayer is awe, intimacy, struggle-yet, the way to reality.
Timothy Keller
Image
We are so quick to tweet, Facebook, and Instagram but we treat prayer with a sense of delay?
Timothy Keller
Image
There are some needs only you can see. There are some hands only you can hold. There are some people only you can reach.
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
Our character is mainly shaped by our primary social community - the people with whom we eat, play, converse, and study.
Timothy Keller
Image
The infallible test of spiritual integrity, Jesus says, is your private prayer life.
Timothy Keller
Image
If we give God things in hope that they'll earn us blessings, we're really not doing anything for him. It's for ourselves.
Timothy Keller

If the evolutionary mechanism of natural selection depends on death, destruction, and violence of the strong against the weak, then these things are perfectly natural. On what basis, then, does the atheist judge the natural world to be horribly wrong, unfair, and unjust?
