When you say, Come in Jesus as my caregiver, stay out as my Lord, he can't. He's both.
Timothy Keller
Image
God's grace and forgiveness, while free to the recipient, are always costly for the giver. From the earliest parts of the Bible, it was understood that God could not forgive without sacrifice. No one who is seriously wronged can “just forgive” the perpetrator.

Discipleship is not an option. Jesus says that if anyone would come after me, he must follow me.
Timothy Keller

If his suffering did not make Jesus give up on us, nothing will.

While marriage is many things, it is anything but sentimental. Marriage is glorious but hard. It's a burning joy and strength, and yet it is also blood, sweat, and tears humbling defeats and exhausting victories.
Timothy Keller
Image
We are called not simply to communicate the gospel to nonbelievers we must also intentionally celebrate the gospel before them.
Timothy Keller
Image
Let us preach grace till humility just starts to grow in us.
Timothy Keller
Image
Accepted in Christ, we now run the race 'for the joy that is set before us' rather than 'for fear that comes behind us'.
Timothy Keller
Image
Prayer is awe before an infinite force, and yet it's intimacy with a personal friend.
Timothy Keller
Image
The gospel has two parts. It has the part that says you're a sinner, and it has the part that says you're loved and accepted.
Timothy Keller
Image
The church is not a museum for pristine saints, but a hospital ward for broken sinners.
Timothy Keller
Image
If you didn't earn your salvation how are you going to un-earn it?
Timothy Keller
Image
When love of one's people becomes an absolute, it turns into racism. When love of equality turns into a supreme thing, it can result in hatred and violence toward anyone who has led a privileged life. It is the settled tendency of human societies to turn good political causes into counterfeit gods.

The key question in order to change you is not 'What would Jesus do?' but What has Jesus done for you?
