If you are trying to live a life in accordance with the Bible, the concept and call to justice are inescapable. We do justice when we give all human beings their due as creations of God. Doing justice includes not only the righting of wrongs but generosity and social concern, especially toward the poor and vulnerable.

Your heart is smothering under your small ambitions.
Timothy Keller
Image
Repentance is like antiseptic. You pour antiseptic onto a wound and, at first, it stings. Then it heals.
Timothy Keller
Image
The world is polarizing over religion. It is getting both more religious and less religious at the same time.
Timothy Keller
Image
On the cross Jesus was treated as an outcast so that we could be brought into God's family freely by grace.
Timothy Keller
