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.

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
Image
Friendship is a deep oneness that develops when two people, speaking the truth in love to one another, journey together to the same horizon.
Timothy Keller
Image
Disordered love always leads to misery and breakdown. The only way to 'reorder' our loves is to love God supremely.
Timothy Keller
Image
Christians don't believe that goodness gets you to heaven. Christians believe it's exhausting to rely on your own goodness to please God.
Timothy Keller
Image
If there is a God, you owe him far more than a morally decent life.
Timothy Keller
Image
If the evolutionary mechanism of natural selection depends on death, destruction, and violence of the strong against the weak, then these things are perfectly natural. On what basis, then, does the atheist judge the natural world to be horribly wrong, unfair, and unjust?
Timothy Keller
Image
Jesus is the only Lord who, if you receive him, will fulfill you completely, and, if you fail him, will forgive you eternally.

Prayer is never just an emergency flare or desperate anxious gamble. God's attention is not based on our performance but parental love.
