“The serious follower of Jesus and his Word is never content to drift in the wind and waves of the world’s ideas. The Christian hungers to know what God says about this and every other matter. Nothing less satisfies.” -Robert D. Jones

God is God; He sees and hears
All our troubles, all our tears.
Soul, forget not, in your pains,
God o’er all forever reigns.

"The Christian not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us; just as the roof of a greenhouse does not attract the sun because it is bright, but becomes bright because the sun shines on it.”

In the end, we love people into belief. We do not argue them into belief.

[Timothy Keller (1950-2023) @timkellernyc]

Jesus's miracles are not just a challenge to our minds, but a promise to our hearts.

[Timothy Keller (1950-2023) @timkellernyc]

To say there is no absolute truth is in fact to give a truth, absolutely.

[Timothy Keller (1950-2023) @timkellernyc]

Without a knowledge of our extreme sin, payment of the cross seems trivial and does not electrify or transform.

Usually the one who "wins" the argument is the one who acts least like Jesus. -Francis Chann
