We are so evil and sinful and flawed that Jesus had to die for us... But we are so lobed and valued that he was willing to due for us.
Timothy Keller

Just because we don't see a reason for evil and suffering doesn't mean there's not a reason for it.

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.

Timothy Keller
Image
Big cities have a lot of 'younger brothers' who have left traditional parts of the world and their families for a more liberal lifestyle. But cities are filled to the gills with 'elder brothers' too.
Timothy Keller
Image
If God is not at the center of your life, something else is.
Timothy Keller
Image
The purpose of Jesus's coming is to put the whole world right, to renew and restore the creation, not to escape it.
Timothy Keller
Image
It is impossible to forgive someone if you feel superior to him or her.
Timothy Keller
Image
No one is so good that they don’t need the grace of the gospel, nor so bad that they can’t receive the grace of the gospel.
Timothy Keller
Image
If Jesus rose from the dead, then you have to accept all he said.
Timothy Keller
Image
Job never saw why he suffered, but he saw God, and that was enough.
Timothy Keller
Image
Faith is not opposed to reason, but it is sometimes opposed to feelings and appearances.
Timothy Keller
Image
A Christian is somebody whose eyes have been opened, who admits that Jesus is not what you expected, but he’s what you need.
