So much of the Christian life is returning to this simple reality: Jesus genuinely loves us, and will forgive us as we keep stumbling our way forward with Him.
@DynastyPrice Dude, I really admire your humility in sharing this. It's uniquely inspiring for others to read about failures. It happens to all of us but we're prone to hide them. Thanks for being a healthy example here.
Saddened yet grateful to celebrate the life of Tim Keller. His writings and teachings were foundational in my understanding of the gospel, as well as navigating what it means to be Christian in a complex world.
Timothy J. Keller, husband, father, grandfather, mentor, friend, pastor, and scholar died this morning at home. Dad waited until he was alone with Mom. She kissed him on the forehead and he breathed his last breath. We take comfort in some of his last words...
I first heard Tim Keller preach on Christ in Exodus. I’d never heard someone explain like that how the whole Bible fit together.
I read A Reason for God and grew in my confidence to share the gospel without defensiveness.
I read his books on marriage, preaching, work, justice, and other topics and grew from his wisdom and scriptural application.
Most of all, inspired by his mix of apologetics, pastoral heart, piety, evangelism and commitment to the local church.
When nobody raised their hand to go to NY, he went and committed himself to learning that city. God used him to bring many thousands to faith.
The heart of an evangelist. The approach of an apologist, the commitment of a pastor, the precision of a theologian. He was a brilliant scholar who never flaunted his intellect. He could he prophetic without being condescending.
I thank God for Tim Keller.
Jeremy Reaves played at South Alabama.
He went undrafted in 2018, and eventually signed with the Eagles.
He has been a final roster cut each of the last four season, but finally made Washington’s 53-man roster this year.
And now he’s in the Pro Bowl 🙏
