No matter what precautions we take, no matter how well we have put together a good life, no matter how hard we have worked to be healthy, wealthy, comfortable with friends and family, and successful with our career — something will inevitably ruin it.

There is a direct relationship between a person's grasp and experience of God's grace, and his or her heart for justice and the poor.
Timothy Keller

There is no way to have a real relationship without becoming vulnerable to hurt. Christmas tells us that God became breakable and fragile. God became someone we could hurt. Why? To get us back...

[T]he main problem in life is sin, and the only solution is God and his grace. The alternative to this view is to identify something besides sin as the main problem with the world and something besides God as the main remedy. That demonizes something that is not completely bad, and makes an idol out of something that cannot be the ultimate good.

How does Satan accuse us? By causing us to look at our sin rather than our Savior.
Timothy Keller

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.

The church does not simply have a missions department it should wholly exist to be a mission.
Timothy Keller
Image
Prayer-though it is often draining, even an agony-is in the long term the greatest source of power that is possible.
