More quotes by Timothy Keller
The Gospel is news of what God has done to reach us. It is not advice about what we must do to reach God.
Timothy Keller
Every religion has a prophet who is pointing people to God. Jesus is the only one who says, 'I am God, and I am coming to find you.'
Timothy Keller
Our prayers should arise out of immersion in the Scripture. [We] speak only to the degree we are spoken to.
Timothy Keller
If God exists then every good endeavor, even the simplest ones, pursued in response to God's calling can matter forever.
Timothy Keller

Timothy Keller

Timothy Keller

Timothy Keller
While we want doubts to give way to faith, we should be merciful and patient with those who are still in a doubt-troubled place.
Timothy Keller
All life-changing love is inconvenient.
Timothy Keller
Religion: 'My identity is built on being a good person.' Gospel: 'My identity is not built on my record or my performance but on Christ's.'
Timothy Keller
I hate the moment when suddenly my anger turns into tears
Timothy Keller
A triune God would call us to converse with him . . . because he wants to share the joy he has. Prayer is our way of entering into the happiness of God himself.
Timothy Keller
The best things that have been written, almost, are by Catholics during the counter Reformation: Ignatius of Loyola, St. Francis de Sales, John of the Cross, St. Theresa of Бvila.....great stuff.
Timothy Keller
The story of Jesus changes our lives because it is true.
Timothy Keller
After creation God said, 'It is finished'-and he rested. After redemption Jesus said, 'It is finished'-and we can rest.
