Quote

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.

Freedom is not the absence of limitations and constraints but it is finding the right ones, those that fit our nature and liberate us.
Timothy Keller
Image
Jesus Christ was treated as we deserved so that when we believe in Jesus, God treats us as Jesus deserves.

If you're avoiding sin and living morally so that God will have to bless you and save you, then you may be looking to Jesus as a teacher, model, and helper, but ironically you are avoiding him as Savior. You are trusting in your own goodness rather than in Jesus for your standing with God.

Timothy Keller
Image
If his suffering did not make Jesus give up on us, nothing will.
Timothy Keller
Image
Because creation was made in the image of a God who is equally one and many, the human race will finally be reunited and our racial and cultural diversity will remain intact in the renewed world. The human race finally lives together in peace and interdependence. Glory to God in the highest goes with peace on earth.
Timothy Keller
Image
The world is a dark place, and yet the coming of Jesus Christ shows us no one and nothing is hopeless.
Timothy Keller
Image
Our character is mainly shaped by our primary social community - the people with whom we eat, play, converse, and study.
Timothy Keller
Image
Christ did not suffer so you wouldn’t suffer. He suffered so when you suffer you will become like Him.
Timothy Keller
Image
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
Image
Christmas is telling you that you could never get to heaven on your own. God had to come to you.
Timothy Keller
Image
Prayer is awe before an infinite force, and yet it's intimacy with a personal friend.
