What is an idol? It is anything more important to you than God, anything that absorbs your heart and imagination more than God, anything you seek to give you what only God can give.
Timothy Keller
Image
We can only grasp the gospel's sweetness if we first grapple with its offense- you can't save yourself.
Timothy Keller
Image

Image
Jesus is the author of faith, the provider of faith, and the object of faith.

Timothy Keller

[T]he main problem in life is sin, and the only solution is God and his grace. The alternative to this view is to identify something besides sin as the main problem with the world and something besides God as the main remedy. That demonizes something that is not completely bad, and makes an idol out of something that cannot be the ultimate good.

By praying with friends, you will be able to hear and see facets of Jesus that you have not yet perceived.
Timothy Keller
Image
The secret to freedom from enslaving patterns of sin is worship. You need worship. You need great worship. You need weeping worship. You need glorious worship. You need to sense God’s greatness and to be moved it — moved to tears and moved to laughter — moved by who God is and what he has done for you.

The future is already won, and the more hostile the culture, the easier it is to communicate the difference of Christianity.
Timothy Keller
Image
We are regularly in danger of having too light a view of our sin and also too light a grasp of what Jesus has done to free us from our sin.
Timothy Keller
Image
There is no evil that the father’s love cannot pardon and cover, there is no sin that is a match for his grace.
Timothy Keller
Image
There seems to be a human instinct for prayer. Swiss theologian Karl Barth calls it our 'incurable God-sickness.'
Timothy Keller

To fail to pray, then, is not to merely break some religious rule- it is a failure to treat God as God.
