More quotes by Timothy Keller
What is an idol? It is anything more important to you than God, anything that absorbs your heart and imagination more than God, anything you seek to give you what only God can give.
Timothy Keller
Preaching is compelling to young secular adults ... - not if preachers use video clips from their favorite movies and dress informally and sound sophisticated, - but if the preachers understand their hearts and culture so well that listeners feel the force of the sermon's reasoning, even if in the end they don't agree with it.
Timothy Keller
A genuinely persuasive argument does not merely tell you that you are wrong about everything. It doesn't just beat on you from the outside. It comes inside your belief system, as it were, and affirms something you believe strongly. And then it says - well if you believe this (A) then why in the world can't you see that B is true?
Timothy Keller
Faith is not opposed to reason, but it is sometimes opposed to feelings and appearances.
Timothy Keller
Where you find your significance is where you find your salvation.
Timothy Keller

Timothy Keller

Timothy Keller
We are so quick to tweet, Facebook, and Instagram but we treat prayer with a sense of delay?
Timothy Keller
Prayer can be simple, but it's not easy. Nothing great is.
Timothy Keller
If this world was made by a triune God, relationships of love are what life is really all about.
Timothy Keller
Every religion has a prophet who is pointing people to God. Jesus is the only one who says, 'I am God, and I am coming to find you.'
Timothy Keller
A triune God would call us to converse with him . . . because he wants to share the joy he has. Prayer is our way of entering into the happiness of God himself.
Timothy Keller
The sin under all other sins is a lack of joy in Christ.
Timothy Keller
We only fully grasp the gospel when we understand, as Paul did, that we are the worst sinner we know
Timothy Keller
Our character is mainly shaped by our primary social community - the people with whom we eat, play, converse, and study.
Timothy Keller
You don't fall in love. You commit to it.
Timothy Keller
