For 34 years, @TimKellerNYC loved and served Redeemer Presbyterian—now a family of churches. In God’s providence, this was their founding pastor’s final word to them.

It was scheduled to air to Redeemer congregants on May 19—the day he died.

Deconstructionism exists because discipleship didn’t. We look at the # of churches, stare at the millennial drop off rate, & go right back to the pulpit on Sunday saying “Every head bowed, every eye closed, raise your hand, you in the back, and you over there.” Theology matters.

What a church sings tells you what they believe.

How they sing tells you if they really believe it.

When I look at myself, I don't see how I can be saved.

But when I look at Christ, I don't see how I can be lost.

Roe is done. The work of the Church has truly begun: Active support for mothers, adoption, and foster care for starters. What else can the Church do to make abortion unthinkable?

I hope to die like the thief upon the cross. I have no hope, no comfort in myself.

People don’t reject the Bible because it contradicts itself; they reject the Bible because it contradicts them.

“Lord, deliver me from the urge to open my mouth when I should shut it. Give me the wisdom to keep silence where silence is wise. Remind me that not everything needs to be said, and that there are very few things that need to be said by me.” Elisabeth Elliot

With any kind of suffering, if I respond to it by looking to God in faith, suffering drives me like a nail deeper into God’s love, which is what cancer has done for me.

If the biblical story does not control our thinking, then we will be swept into the story that the world tells about itself.
