Jesus took the tree of death so you could have the tree of life.
Timothy Keller
Prayer should be done regularly, persistently, resolutely, and tenaciously at least daily, whether we feel like it or not.
Timothy Keller

Timothy Keller
We have to be careful not to elevate our preferences to moral standards and judge others by them. We only do so to feel superior.
Timothy Keller
Christianity does not set faith against thinking. It sets faith against assuming.
Timothy Keller
Jesus came into this world not as a philosopher or a general but as a carpenter. All work matters to God.
Timothy Keller

Timothy Keller

Timothy Keller
Prayer-though it is often draining, even an agony-is in the long term the greatest source of power that is possible.
Timothy Keller
Repentance is like antiseptic. You pour antiseptic onto a wound and, at first, it stings. Then it heals.
Timothy Keller
Many times people think if God has called you to something, he's promising you success. He might be calling you to fail to prepare you for something else through the failure.
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
Occasionally God rips aside the veil, and you begin to see this very fact: All things happen for you. All things. Everything is knit together.
Timothy Keller
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
Prayer is a recognition of the greatness of our God.
