More quotes by Timothy Keller
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.
Timothy Keller
Cities have more “image of God” per square inch than anywhere else, and so we must not idealize the country as somehow a more spiritual place than the city.
Timothy Keller
Freedom is not the absence of limitations and constraints but it is finding the right ones, those that fit our nature and liberate us.
Timothy Keller
Living is giving....If you spend your money on yourself, you are just surviving. But if you want your life to count, if you want to really live - give.
Timothy Keller
Our need for worth is so powerful that whatever we base our identity and value on we essentially 'deify.' We will look to it with all the passion and intensity of worship and devotion, even if we think ourselves as highly irreligious.
Timothy Keller
When you listen and read one thinker, you become a clone… two thinkers, you become confused… ten thinkers, you’ll begin developing your own voice… two or three hundred thinkers, you become wise and develop your voice.
Timothy Keller
One of the signs that you may not grasp the unique, radical nature of the gospel is that you are certain that you do.
Timothy Keller
What the heart most wants, the mind finds reasonable, the will finds doable, and the emotions find desirable.
Timothy Keller
Suffering is unbearable if you aren’t certain that God is for you and with you.
Timothy Keller
If you're avoiding sin and living morally so that God will have to bless you and save you, then you may be looking to Jesus as a teacher, model, and helper, but ironically you are avoiding him as Savior. You are trusting in your own goodness rather than in Jesus for your standing with God.
Timothy Keller
The essence of Christian obedience is not do’s and don’ts but personal allegiance to Jesus.
Timothy Keller
God takes our misery and suffering so seriously that he was willing to take it on himself.
Timothy Keller
Prayer should be done regularly, persistently, resolutely, and tenaciously at least daily, whether we feel like it or not.
Timothy Keller
Discipleship is not an option. Jesus says that if anyone would come after me, he must follow me.
Timothy Keller
Preaching is compelling to young secular adults ... - not if preachers use video clips from their favorite movies and dress informally and sound sophisticated, - but if the preachers understand their hearts and culture so well that listeners feel the force of the sermon's reasoning, even if in the end they don't agree with it.
Timothy Keller
How could a good, all-powerful God allow suffering?
Timothy Keller
Any person who only sticks with Christianity as long as things are going his or her way, is a stranger to the cross
Timothy Keller
Like a baby learning language, we learn how to communicate with God by listening to His words first.
Timothy Keller
Love is counting someone else’s needs and interests as more important than your own needs or interests or comfort.
Timothy Keller
Job never saw why he suffered, but he saw God, and that was enough.
Timothy Keller
