More quotes by Timothy Keller
The gospel is an exclusive truth but it's the most inclusive exclusive truth in the world.
Timothy Keller
There is no way to have a real relationship without becoming vulnerable to hurt. Christmas tells us that God became breakable and fragile. God became someone we could hurt. Why? To get us back... No other religion-whethe r secularism, Greco-Roman paganism, Eastern religion, Judaism, or Islam-believes God became breakable or suffered or had a body.
Timothy Keller
We think that idols are bad things, but that is almost never the case. The greater the good, the more likely we are to expect that it can satisfy our deepest needs and hopes. Anything can serve as a counterfeit god, especially the very best things in life.
Timothy Keller
Christianity does not set faith against thinking. It sets faith against assuming.
Timothy Keller
Christ's resurrection not only gives you hope for the future it gives you hope to handle your scars right now.
Timothy Keller
Jesus' purpose is not to warm our hearts but to shatter our categories.
Timothy Keller
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
A Christian is somebody whose eyes have been opened, who admits that Jesus is not what you expected, but he’s what you need.
Timothy Keller
You are worse than you think you are, but also far more loved than you feel you are.
Timothy Keller
We deserve to be forgotten because we forget Him. But because Jesus died on the cross, we will never, ever be forgotten by God.
Timothy Keller
Describe the God you've rejected. Describe the God you don't believe in. Maybe I don't believe in that God either.
Timothy Keller
All I know is, if I don't care about the poor, if my church doesn't care about the poor, that's evil.
Timothy Keller
Trust is accepting what God sends into your life whether you understand it or not.
Timothy Keller
If you aren't constantly astonished at God's grace in your solitude, there's no way it can happen in public.
Timothy Keller
The essence of forgiveness is absorbing pain instead of giving it.
Timothy Keller
It takes pride to be anxious – I am not wise enough to know how my life should go.
Timothy Keller
A god of less wrath than the God of the Bible is necessarily a god of less love. His anger is a product of his love.
Timothy Keller
The Christian gospel is that I am so flawed that Jesus had to die for me, yet I am so loved and valued that Jesus was glad to die for me.
Timothy Keller
Many times people think if God has called you to something, he's promising you success. He might be calling you to fail to prepare you for something else through the failure.
Timothy Keller
The gospel is not just the A-B-C's but the A-Z of Christianity. The gospel is not just the minimum required doctrine necessary to enter the kingdom, but the way we make all progress in the kingdom.
