More quotes by Timothy Keller

Timothy Keller

Only with time do we really learn who the other person is and come to love the person for him- or herself and not just for the feelings and experiences they give us.
Timothy Keller
There are some needs only you can see. There are some hands only you can hold. There are some people only you can reach.
Timothy Keller
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
Jesus is the ultimate Job, the only truly innocent sufferer.
