Occasionally God rips aside the veil, and you begin to see this very fact: All things happen for you. All things. Everything is knit together.
Timothy Keller
Image
Those who understand the gospel cannot possibly look down on anyone, since they were saved by sheer grace, not by their perfect doctrine or strong moral character.
Timothy Keller
Image
Prayer is continuing a conversation that God has started through his Word and his grace, which eventually becomes a full encounter with him.
Timothy Keller

Discipleship is not an option. Jesus says that if anyone would come after me, he must follow me.
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.
Timothy Keller
Image
Our prayers should arise out of immersion in the Scripture. [We] speak only to the degree we are spoken to.
Timothy Keller
Image
Every single emotion you have should be processed in prayer.
Timothy Keller
Image
You don't fall in love. You commit to it.
Timothy Keller
Image
There are some needs only you can see. There are some hands only you can hold. There are some people only you can reach.
Timothy Keller
Image
Prayer should be done regularly, persistently, resolutely, and tenaciously at least daily, whether we feel like it or not.
Timothy Keller
Image
To fail to pray, then, is not to merely break some religious rule- it is a failure to treat God as God.
Timothy Keller
Image
To fear the Lord is to be overwhelmed with wonder before the greatness of God and his love.
Timothy Keller
Image
A Christian is one who stops working to be saved, not one who stops working!
Timothy Keller
Image
If his suffering did not make Jesus give up on us, nothing will.
Timothy Keller
Image
God sees us as we are, loves us as we are, and accepts us as we are. But by His grace, He does not leave us as we are.
