The issue on which everything hangs is not whether you like His teaching but if He ‪rose from the dead.
Timothy Keller
Image
We think that idols are bad things, but that is almost never the case. The greater the good, the more likely we are to expect that it can satisfy our deepest needs and hopes. Anything can serve as a counterfeit god, especially the very best things in life.

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
Image
Every treasure on this earth says, 'Give your life to purchase me.' Jesus says 'I'm the one treasure who died to purchase you.'
Timothy Keller
Image
Our culture says that feelings of love are the basis for actions of love. And of course that can be true. But it is truer to say that actions of love can lead consistently to feelings of love.

How does Satan accuse us? By causing us to look at our sin rather than our Savior.
Timothy Keller
Image
The Gospel worldview equips the artist with a unique combination of optimism and realism about life.
Timothy Keller
Image
Jesus may ask of you far more than you planned to give, but He can give to you infinitely more than you dared ask or think.
Timothy Keller
Image
Christians should not be optimists we know too much about sin. We should also not be pessimists, for we know the living God.
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.
Timothy Keller

No matter what precautions we take, no matter how well we have put together a good life, no matter how hard we have worked to be healthy, wealthy, comfortable with friends and family, and successful with our career — something will inevitably ruin it.

The world is a dark place, and yet the coming of Jesus Christ shows us no one and nothing is hopeless.
