Timothy Keller
Image
If you try to add to God's salvation you subtract. If you try to add to God's salvation you subtract. If you try to merit God's salvation you haven't believed at all, even if you try to do a little bit.
Timothy Keller

Image
We are so quick to tweet, Facebook, and Instagram but we treat prayer with a sense of delay?
Timothy Keller
Image
Suffering is the stripping of our hope in finite things, therefore we do not put our ultimate hope in anything finite.
