Because creation was made in the image of a God who is equally one and many, the human race will finally be reunited and our racial and cultural diversity will remain intact in the renewed world. The human race finally lives together in peace and interdependence. Glory to God in the highest goes with peace on earth.

A person's faith can collapse almost overnight if she failed over the years to listen patiently to her own doubts, which should only be discarded after long reflection.
Timothy Keller
Image
To fear the Lord is to be overwhelmed with wonder before the greatness of God and his love.
Timothy Keller
Image
The gospel destroys pride because it tells us we are so lost that Jesus had to die for us.
Timothy Keller
Image
God takes our misery and suffering so seriously that he was willing to take it on himself.
Timothy Keller
Image
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
Image
All Christians have opportunities to serve those who might never come to church or listen to a sermon.
Timothy Keller
Image
When we try and use fear or pride to stop from sinning, we are forgetting that we sin because of either fear or pride.
