Timothy Keller
Image
The Gospel worldview equips the artist with a unique combination of optimism and realism about life.
Timothy Keller
Image
If our identity is in our work, rather than Christ, success will go to our heads, and failure will go to our hearts.
Timothy Keller
Image
We need to remember that we are saved by grace when we fail. But we need to remember it much more when we succeed.
Timothy Keller
Image
You cannot have Jesus' rescue without accepting His rule.
Timothy Keller
Image
Do you realize that it is only in the gospel of Jesus Christ that you get the verdict before the performance?
Timothy Keller
Image
If we give God things in hope that they'll earn us blessings, we're really not doing anything for him. It's for ourselves.
Timothy Keller
Image
Jesus's miracles are not just a challenge to our minds, but a promise to our hearts, that the world we all want is coming.
Timothy Keller
Image
We only fully grasp the gospel when we understand, as Paul did, that we are the worst sinner we know
