The most liberating act of free, unconditional grace demands that the recipient give up control of his or her life.
Timothy Keller
Image
Everyone says they want community and friendship. But mention accountability or commitment to people, and they run the other way.
Timothy Keller

If the preaching of our ministers and the practice of our parishioners do not have the same effect on people that Jesus had, then we must not be declaring the same message that Jesus did.
Timothy Keller
Image
God's grace and forgiveness, while free to the recipient, are always costly for the giver. From the earliest parts of the Bible, it was understood that God could not forgive without sacrifice. No one who is seriously wronged can “just forgive” the perpetrator.

We are so quick to tweet, Facebook, and Instagram but we treat prayer with a sense of delay?
Timothy Keller
Image
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

If you try to add to God's salvation you subtract. If you try to add to God's salvation you subtract. If you try to merit God's salvation you haven't believed at all, even if you try to do a little bit.
Timothy Keller
Image
We are free to fight sin, and free to win but we must still fight.
Timothy Keller
Image
Jesus Christ was treated as we deserved so that when we believe in Jesus, God treats us as Jesus deserves.
Timothy Keller
Image
When love of one's people becomes an absolute, it turns into racism. When love of equality turns into a supreme thing, it can result in hatred and violence toward anyone who has led a privileged life. It is the settled tendency of human societies to turn good political causes into counterfeit gods.
Timothy Keller
Image
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
Image
We must neither confuse evangelism with doing justice, nor separate them from one another.
Timothy Keller
Image
Let us preach grace till humility just starts to grow in us.

The church is not a museum for pristine saints, but a hospital ward for broken sinners.
