Christianity is not just for the strong it's for everyone.
Timothy Keller
Image
You are more sinful than you could dare imagine and you are more loved and accepted than you could ever dare hope.
Timothy Keller
Image
If we can't love the sinner hate the sin then how can we relate to ourselves? Love who we are in Christ but still hate the sin remaining.

If you come to recognize the beliefs on which your doubts about Christianity are based, and if you seek as much proof for those beliefs as you seek from Christians for theirs - you will discover that your doubts are not as solid as they first appeared.
Timothy Keller
Image
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.
Timothy Keller
Image
The secret to freedom from enslaving patterns of sin is worship. You need worship. You need great worship. You need weeping worship. You need glorious worship. You need to sense God’s greatness and to be moved it — moved to tears and moved to laughter — moved by who God is and what he has done for you.

Adam wasn't lonely because he was imperfect but because he was perfect. The ache for friends is not the result of sin.
Timothy Keller
Image
Faith in God's promises means not always following the expected, rational path.
Timothy Keller
Image
The cross is the place where the Judge takes the Judgment.
Timothy Keller
Image
Marriage is so much like salvation and our relationship with Christ that you can’t understand marriage w/o looking at the gospel.
Timothy Keller
Image
Jesus cannot be just liked. His claims make us either kill him or crown him.
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
The key to continual and deeper spiritual renewal and revival is the continual re-discovery of the gospel.
Timothy Keller
Image
All Christians have opportunities to serve those who might never come to church or listen to a sermon.
Timothy Keller
Image
Prayer turns theology into experience.
Timothy Keller

Unless you point to the good news of God's grace people will not be able to bear the bad news of God's judgement.
