To me, Christian pastors asking, “what you do mean by social justice?” are no different from the man who asked Jesus, “who is my neighbor?”

He gave me hope, he made me think, and he took me to Jesus every time.
What makes it so great is I can't imagine how many others feel the same way about a man they've never met. An incredibly good one.
I really feel like I loved @timkellernyc as if I knew him.
And I probably felt that way because I spent so much time alone listening to him during some of the hardest times in my 20s. (Offhand, I can think of three specific memories and exactly what I was listening to).
Tim Keller made Jesus more beautiful and believable to me over, and over, and over again. He pastored my heart in every sermon, lecture, and talk he gave. I'm so sad he's no longer with us, but so glad he's in the joyful embrace of the Jesus he so faithfully preached and served.
The death of @timkellernyc is an incalculable loss to the church, the world, to those of us who loved him, those of us he helped in our darkest hours.
This is gain for Tim, now in the presence of Christ. He need no longer explain the reason for God, just to enjoy him forever.
