More quotes by Timothy Keller
God takes our misery and suffering so seriously that he was willing to take it on himself.
Timothy Keller
I am going to judge my circumstances by Jesus’ love, not Jesus’ love by my circumstances.
Timothy Keller
To fear the Lord is to be overwhelmed with wonder before the greatness of God and his love.
Timothy Keller
Pride is the carbon-monoxide of Sin. It silently and slowly kills you without you even knowing.
Timothy Keller
If Jesus rose from the dead, then you have to accept all that he said if he didn't rise from the dead, then why worry about any of what he said? The issue on which everything hangs is not whether or not you like his teaching but whether or not he rose from the dead.
Timothy Keller
The ministry of mercy, then, is the best advertising a church can have. It convinces a community that this church provides people with actions for their problems, not only talk. It shows the community that this church is compassionate.
Timothy Keller
A genuinely persuasive argument does not merely tell you that you are wrong about everything. It doesn't just beat on you from the outside. It comes inside your belief system, as it were, and affirms something you believe strongly. And then it says - well if you believe this (A) then why in the world can't you see that B is true?
Timothy Keller
If God is not at the center of your life, something else is.
Timothy Keller
Change won’t happen through ‘trying harder’ but only through encountering the radical grace of God.
Timothy Keller
On the cross Jesus was treated as an outcast so that we could be brought into God's family freely by grace.
Timothy Keller
The world values power, comfort, success, and recognition. Jesus frees us to value grief, sacrifice, weakness, and exclusion.
Timothy Keller
It’s a mistake to think that you must feel love to give it.
Timothy Keller
Only on the cross do you have a totally holy God and a totally loving God.
Timothy Keller
Religion says, 'I obey therefore I am accepted.' Christianity says, 'I'm accepted, therefore I obey.
Timothy Keller
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
Every other religion points to answers. Jesus, though, says 'I am the answer'.
Timothy Keller
Every single emotion you have should be processed in prayer.
Timothy Keller
Describe the God you've rejected. Describe the God you don't believe in. Maybe I don't believe in that God either.
Timothy Keller
There is no way to have a real relationship without becoming vulnerable to hurt. Christmas tells us that God became breakable and fragile. God became someone we could hurt. Why? To get us back... No other religion-whethe r secularism, Greco-Roman paganism, Eastern religion, Judaism, or Islam-believes God became breakable or suffered or had a body.
Timothy Keller
Trust is accepting what God sends into your life whether you understand it or not.
