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
The world values power, comfort, success, and recognition. Jesus frees us to value grief, sacrifice, weakness, and exclusion.
Timothy Keller
Image
There seems to be a human instinct for prayer. Swiss theologian Karl Barth calls it our 'incurable God-sickness.'
Timothy Keller
Image
To fear the Lord is to be overwhelmed with wonder before the greatness of God and his love.
Timothy Keller
Image
We are called not simply to communicate the gospel to nonbelievers we must also intentionally celebrate the gospel before them.
Timothy Keller
Image
Reason can get you to probability, but only commitment can get you to certainty.
Timothy Keller
Image
Those who understand the gospel cannot possibly look down on anyone, since they were saved by sheer grace, not by their perfect doctrine or strong moral character.
Timothy Keller
Image
While marriage is many things, it is anything but sentimental. Marriage is glorious but hard. It's a burning joy and strength, and yet it is also blood, sweat, and tears humbling defeats and exhausting victories.
Timothy Keller
Image
All I know is, if I don't care about the poor, if my church doesn't care about the poor, that's evil.
