Image
The key to continual and deeper spiritual renewal and revival is the continual re-discovery of the gospel.
Timothy Keller
Image
A god of less wrath than the God of the Bible is necessarily a god of less love. His anger is a product of his love.
Timothy Keller
Image
Prayer is a recognition of the greatness of our God.
Timothy Keller
Image
If Jesus rose from the dead, then you have to accept all he said.
Timothy Keller
Image
God made you to love him supremely, but he lost you. He returned to get you back, but it took the cross to do it. He absorbed your darkness so that one day you can finally and dazzlingly become your true self and take your seat at his eternal feast.
Timothy Keller

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
The essence of forgiveness is absorbing pain instead of giving it.
Timothy Keller
Image
Occasionally God rips aside the veil, and you begin to see this very fact: All things happen for you. All things. Everything is knit together.
Timothy Keller
Image
You can't live the Christian life without a band of Christian friends, without a family of believers in which you find a place.
Timothy Keller
Image
Life changing repentance begins where blame shifting ends.
Timothy Keller
Image
Prayer is never just an emergency flare or desperate anxious gamble. God's attention is not based on our performance but parental love.
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
Jesus is the author of faith, the provider of faith, and the object of faith.
Timothy Keller
Image
We must have a strong inner life of fellowship and intimacy with Jesus if we are going to have a strong outer life of ministry
