Idolatry happens when we take good things and make them ultimate things
Timothy Keller

Our moral efforts are too feeble and falsely motivated to ever merit salvation.
Timothy Keller

To stand in the presence of God, that is what the Gospel is. The Gospel is not primarily about forgiveness. It’s not primarily about good feelings. It’s not primarily about power. All those things are byproducts, sparks. It’s primarily about the presence of God.
Timothy Keller
Image
Every religion has a prophet who is pointing people to God. Jesus is the only one who says, 'I am God, and I am coming to find you.'
Timothy Keller
Image
Love is counting someone else’s needs and interests as more important than your own needs or interests or comfort.
Timothy Keller
Image
If you aren't constantly astonished at God's grace in your solitude, there's no way it can happen in public.
Timothy Keller
Image
Out of the cross comes the resurrection. Out of weakness comes real strength.
Timothy Keller
Image
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
Image
God will only give you what you would have asked for if you knew everything he knows
Timothy Keller
Image
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
The Gospel is this: You're more sinful, evil and weak than you'd ever believe. But you're more valued, accepted and loved than you dared hope.
