Timothy Keller
Image
If we pick out which parts of the Bible we dislike, we actually have a god we've created. How can that god ever call you out on anything?

Ministry to the poor is a crucial sign that we believe the gospel.
Timothy Keller
Image
Describe the God you've rejected. Describe the God you don't believe in. Maybe I don't believe in that God either.
Timothy Keller
Image
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.

You are worse than you think you are, but also far more loved than you feel you are.
Timothy Keller

The resurrection was God's way of stamping PAID IN FULL right across history so that nobody could miss it.
