The Bible judges the church the church does not judge the Bible. The Bible is the foundation for and the creator of the church the church is not the foundation for or creator of the Bible. The church and its hierarchy must be evaluated by the believer with the biblical gospel as the touchstone or plumb line for judging all truth claims.

Jesus Christ did not suffer so that you would not suffer. He suffered so that when you suffer, you’ll become more like him. The gospel does not promise you better life circumstances it promises you a better life.

Repentance is like antiseptic. You pour antiseptic onto a wound and, at first, it stings. Then it heals.
Timothy Keller

We are regularly in danger of having too light a view of our sin and also too light a grasp of what Jesus has done to free us from our sin.
Timothy Keller

Doing justice includes not only the righting of wrongs but generosity and social concern, especially toward the poor and vulnerable.
Timothy Keller
Image
Mercy and forgiveness must be free and unmerited to the wrongdoer. If the wrongdoer has to do something to merit it, then it isn’t mercy, but forgiveness always comes at a cost to the one granting the forgiveness.
Timothy Keller

After creation God said, 'It is finished'-and he rested. After redemption Jesus said, 'It is finished'-and we can rest.

I am God and I am coming to find you.

A person's faith can collapse almost overnight if she failed over the years to listen patiently to her own doubts, which should only be discarded after long reflection.

Grace is to be let into a place that you don't have a right to be.
Timothy Keller
Image
The rich brother needs to let the gospel humble him while the poor brother needs to let the gospel affirm him.
Timothy Keller

When we try and use fear or pride to stop from sinning, we are forgetting that we sin because of either fear or pride.
Timothy Keller

Pride is that which claims to be the author of what is really a gift.
