Preaching is compelling to young secular adults ... - not if preachers use video clips from their favorite movies and dress informally and sound sophisticated, - but if the preachers understand their hearts and culture so well that listeners feel the force of the sermon's reasoning, even if in the end they don't agree with it.

Our moral efforts are too feeble and falsely motivated to ever merit salvation.
Timothy Keller

The peace of God is not the absence of fear. It, in fact, is His presence.
Timothy Keller
Image
God's grace and forgiveness, while free to the recipient, are always costly for the giver. From the earliest parts of the Bible, it was understood that God could not forgive without sacrifice. No one who is seriously wronged can “just forgive” the perpetrator.

Timothy Keller
Image
If you're avoiding sin and living morally so that God will have to bless you and save you, then you may be looking to Jesus as a teacher, model, and helper, but ironically you are avoiding him as Savior. You are trusting in your own goodness rather than in Jesus for your standing with God.
Timothy Keller
Image
If anything becomes more fundamental than God to your happiness, meaning of life, and identity then it is an idol.
Timothy Keller
Image
Reason can get you to probability, but only commitment can get you to certainty.
Timothy Keller
Image
If you have a small view of your sin, God's grace will be small to you.
Timothy Keller
Image
Trust is accepting what God sends into your life whether you understand it or not.
Timothy Keller
Image
The gospel is not just the “ABCs” but the “A-to-Z” of the Christian life.
Timothy Keller
Image
I am going to judge my circumstances by Jesus’ love, not Jesus’ love by my circumstances.
Timothy Keller
Image
Religion: 'My identity is built on being a good person.' Gospel: 'My identity is not built on my record or my performance but on Christ's.'
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
Jesus Christ was treated as we deserved so that when we believe in Jesus, God treats us as Jesus deserves.
