Image
It's impossible to have met the real Jesus and be indifferent. You either bow down in wonder OR go away offended.
Timothy Keller
Image
At the end of history the whole earth has become the Garden of God again. Death and decay and suffering are gone. . . . Jesus will make the world our perfect home again. We will no longer be living 'east of Eden,' always wandering and never arriving. We will come, and the father will meet us and embrace us, and we will be brought into the feast.
Timothy Keller
Image
Prayer is a recognition of the greatness of our God.
Timothy Keller
Image
Religious people find God useful. Gospel people find him beautiful.
Timothy Keller
Image
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
Image
To preach the gospel is to show people their need for salvation against a backdrop of God's nature and the character of sin, and then present Jesus as the only remedy for what ails them and the world. In my weekly preaching in the worship services I always call people to believe in Christ.

The church does not simply have a missions department it should wholly exist to be a mission.
Timothy Keller
Image
When love of one's people becomes an absolute, it turns into racism. When love of equality turns into a supreme thing, it can result in hatred and violence toward anyone who has led a privileged life. It is the settled tendency of human societies to turn good political causes into counterfeit gods.
Timothy Keller
Image
Every other religion points to answers. Jesus, though, says 'I am the answer'.
Timothy Keller
Image
God relentlessly offers his grace to people who do not deserve it, or seek it, or even appreciate it after they have been saved by it.
Timothy Keller
Image
Do you realize that it is only in the gospel of Jesus Christ that you get the verdict before the performance?
Timothy Keller
Image
While other worldviews lead us to sit in the midst of life’s joys, foreseeing the coming sorrows, Christianity empowers its people to sit in the midst of this world’s sorrows, tasting the coming joy.
Timothy Keller
Image
The Gospel is the deepest consolation you can offer to the human heart.
Timothy Keller
Image
The issue on which everything hangs is not whether you like His teaching but if He ‪rose from the dead.
Timothy Keller
Image
The Gospel does not promise you better life circumstances it promises you a better life.
Timothy Keller
Image
If anything becomes more fundamental than God to your happiness, meaning of life, and identity then it is an idol.
Timothy Keller
Image
Prayer is awe before an infinite force, and yet it's intimacy with a personal friend.
Timothy Keller
Image
The observer of beauty always receives a passion to share the beauty with others.
Timothy Keller
Image
Jesus Christ did not suffer so that you would not suffer. He suffered so that when you suffer, you’ll become more like him. The gospel does not promise you better life circumstances it promises you a better life.
Timothy Keller
Image
We must go back again and again to the Gospel of Christ crucified, so that our hearts are more deeply gripped by the reality of what He did and who we are in Him.
