The common moral framework: Do anything as long as it does no harm to others. Problem: Whose definition of harm?
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.

Religious people find God useful. Gospel people find him beautiful.
Timothy Keller
Image
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. Our hearts deify them as the center of our lives, because, we think, they can give us significance and security, safety and fulfillment, if we attain them.
Timothy Keller

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.'
Timothy Keller

Prayer should be done regularly, persistently, resolutely, and tenaciously at least daily, whether we feel like it or not.

Mercy and forgiveness must be free and unmerited to the wrongdoer. If the wrongdoer has to do something to merit it, then it isn’t mercy, but forgiveness always comes at a cost to the one granting the forgiveness.
Timothy Keller

You don't fall in love. You commit to it.
Timothy Keller

The essence of forgiveness is absorbing pain instead of giving it.
Timothy Keller
Image
The primary means-of-reviva l that everyone agrees upon is extraordinary prayer.
Timothy Keller
Image
It's impossible to have met the real Jesus and be indifferent. You either bow down in wonder OR go away offended.
Timothy Keller
Image
All I know is, if I don't care about the poor, if my church doesn't care about the poor, that's evil.
Timothy Keller
Image
A Christian is one who stops working to be saved, not one who stops working!
Timothy Keller
Image
The gospel is this: We are more sinful and flawed in ourselves than we ever dared believe, yet at the very same time we are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ than we ever dared hope.
Timothy Keller
Image
The church is not a museum for pristine saints, but a hospital ward for broken sinners.
Timothy Keller
Image
All Christians have opportunities to serve those who might never come to church or listen to a sermon.
Timothy Keller
Image
Because creation was made in the image of a God who is equally one and many, the human race will finally be reunited and our racial and cultural diversity will remain intact in the renewed world. The human race finally lives together in peace and interdependence. Glory to God in the highest goes with peace on earth.
