Timothy Keller
Image
Faith is not opposed to reason, but it is sometimes opposed to feelings and appearances.
Timothy Keller
Image
If we are deeply moved by the sight of his love for us, it detaches our hearts from other would-be saviors. We stop trying to redeem ourselves through our pursuits and relationships, because we are already redeemed. We stop trying to make others into saviors, because we have a Savior.
Timothy Keller
Image
Prayer is a recognition of the greatness of our God.
Timothy Keller
Image
Falling in love in a Christian way is to say,'I am excited about your future and I want to be part of getting you there. I'm signing up for the journey with you. Would you sign up for the journey to my true self with me? It's going to be hard but I want to get there.
Timothy Keller
Image
I am God and I am coming to find you.
Timothy Keller
Image
Like a baby learning language, we learn how to communicate with God by listening to His words first.
Timothy Keller
Image
When you experience God it is deeply personal, but it's not at all private.
