Timothy J. Keller“The gospel is neither religion nor irreligion - it is something else altogether. Religion makes law and moral obedience a means of salvation, while irreligion makes the individual a law to him - or herself. The gospel, however, is that Jesus takes the law of God so seriously that He paid the penalty of disobedience, so we can be saved by sheer grace.”
Timothy J. Keller“To let the gospel of Jesus shape how we work means to heed the influence of both the psychological idols within our hearts as well as the sociological idols in our culture and profession.”
Timothy J. Keller“Christ's miracles were not the suspension of the natural order but the restoration of the natural order. They were a reminder of what once was prior to the fall and a preview of what will eventually be a universal reality once again--a world of peace and justice, without death, disease, or conflict.”
Timothy J. Keller“God made you to love him supremely, but he lost you. He returned to get you back, but it took the cross to do it. He absorbed your darkness so that one day you can finally and dazzlingly become your true self and take your seat at his eternal feast.”
Timothy J. 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 J. Keller“Idolatry means turning a good thing into the ultimate thing.”
Timothy J. Keller“Tolerance isn't about not having beliefs. It's about how your beliefs lead you to treat people who disagree with you.”
Timothy J. Keller“The Gospel worldview equips the artist with a unique combination of optimism and realism about life.”
Timothy J. Keller“Gratitude is what you feel. Thanksgiving is what you do.”
