Sin is not just breaking the rules, it is putting yourself in the place of God as Savior, Lord, and Judge… There are two ways to be your own Savior and Lord. One is by breaking all the moral laws and setting your own course, and one is by keeping all the moral laws and being very, very good.

I am God and I am coming to find you.
Timothy Keller
Image
Trust is accepting what God sends into your life whether you understand it or not.

Jesus cannot be just liked. His claims make us either kill him or crown him.
Timothy Keller
Image
The purpose of Jesus's coming is to put the whole world right, to renew and restore the creation, not to escape it.

Fear, logic, and tradition are not going to make you live a good life when no one is looking.
Timothy Keller
Image
While marriage is many things, it is anything but sentimental. Marriage is glorious but hard. It's a burning joy and strength, and yet it is also blood, sweat, and tears humbling defeats and exhausting victories.
Timothy Keller
Image
If this world was made by a triune God, relationships of love are what life is really all about.
Timothy Keller
Image
Christ did not suffer so you wouldn’t suffer. He suffered so when you suffer you will become like Him.
