Timothy Keller
Image
If you have a small view of your sin, God's grace will be small to you.

Tolerance isn't about not having beliefs. It's about how your beliefs lead you to treat people who disagree with you.
Timothy Keller
Image
God sees us as we are, loves us as we are, and accepts us as we are. But by His grace, He does not leave us as we are.
Timothy Keller
Image
Out of the cross comes the resurrection. Out of weakness comes real strength.
Timothy Keller
Image
The Gospel does not promise you better life circumstances it promises you a better life.
Timothy Keller
Image
Where you find your significance is where you find your salvation.
Timothy Keller
