Image
A Christian is somebody whose eyes have been opened, who admits that Jesus is not what you expected, but he’s what you need.
Timothy Keller
Image
God's grace and forgiveness, while free to the recipient, are always costly for the giver.
Timothy Keller
Image
Let us preach grace till humility just starts to grow in us.
Timothy Keller
Image
Only if you are part of a community of believers seeking to resemble, serve, and love Jesus will you ever get to know him and grow into his likeness.
Timothy Keller
Image
[T]he main problem in life is sin, and the only solution is God and his grace. The alternative to this view is to identify something besides sin as the main problem with the world and something besides God as the main remedy. That demonizes something that is not completely bad, and makes an idol out of something that cannot be the ultimate good.
Timothy Keller
Image
If your god never disagrees with you, you might just be worshipping an idealized version of yourself.
Timothy Keller
Image
The Gospel is the deepest consolation you can offer to the human heart.
Timothy Keller

Our culture says that feelings of love are the basis for actions of love. And of course that can be true. But it is truer to say that actions of love can lead consistently to feelings of love.
Timothy Keller
Image
Love is the effort and desire to make someone else everything they were created to be.
Timothy Keller
Image
Christians need the gospel as much as non-Christians do.
Timothy Keller
Image
A god of less wrath than the God of the Bible is necessarily a god of less love. His anger is a product of his love.
Timothy Keller
Image
The most liberating act of free, unconditional grace demands that the recipient give up control of his or her life.
Timothy Keller
Image
When pain and suffering come upon us, we finally see not only that we are not in control of our lives but that we never were.
Timothy Keller
Image
The only love that won’t disappoint you is one that can’t change, that can’t be lost, that is not based on the ups and downs of life or of how well you live. It is something that not even death can take away from you. God’s love is the only thing like that.
Timothy Keller
Image
Jesus is the only Lord who, if you receive him, will fulfill you completely, and, if you fail him, will forgive you eternally.
Timothy Keller
Image
The peace of God is not the absence of fear. It, in fact, is His presence.
Timothy Keller
Image
Look at Jesus Christ. Every time he was in trouble he used the Word of God. When he was tempted he used the Word. When he was suffering on the cross he used the Word.
Timothy Keller
Image
Suffering is unbearable if you aren’t certain that God is for you and with you.
Timothy Keller
Image
The Gospel is this: You're more sinful, evil and weak than you'd ever believe. But you're more valued, accepted and loved than you dared hope.

We are so quick to tweet, Facebook, and Instagram but we treat prayer with a sense of delay?
