Timothy Keller

The purpose of Jesus's coming is to put the whole world right, to renew and restore the creation, not to escape it.
Timothy Keller
Image
It is impossible to forgive someone if you feel superior to him or her.
Timothy Keller

Many times people think if God has called you to something, he's promising you success. He might be calling you to fail to prepare you for something else through the failure.
Timothy Keller
Image
Most apologetic books are really written for Christians, even the ones that purport to be written for non-believers.
Timothy Keller
Image
If we can't love the sinner hate the sin then how can we relate to ourselves? Love who we are in Christ but still hate the sin remaining.
Timothy Keller

The world is polarizing over religion. It is getting both more religious and less religious at the same time.
Timothy Keller
Image
