Jesus warns people far more often about greed than about sex, yet almost no one thinks they are guilty of greed.

Tolerance isn't about not having beliefs. It's about how your beliefs lead you to treat people who disagree with you.

[Timothy Keller (1950-2023) @timkellernyc]

Contemporary people tend to examine the Bible looking for things they can’t accept;
but Christians should reverse that, allowing the Bible to examine us, looking for things God can’t accept.

[Timothy Keller (1950-2023) @timkellernyc]

Three truths Christians believe that should be a constant source or happiness: (1) Our bad things will turn out for good (Rom 8:28) (2) The good things we have can never be taken away from us (Rom 8:29-31; 37-39) and (3) The best things are yet to come (Rom 8:18-21).

What if the greatest freedom isn't creating your identity...

but receiving it from the God who already knows and loves you?

If we feel more righteous as we read the Bible, we are misreading it; we are missing its central message. We are reading and using the Bible rightly only when it humbles us, critiques us, and encourages us with God’s love and grace despite our flaws.

[Timothy Keller (1950-2023) @timkellernyc]

If you met a truly humble person, you wouldn't think him/her humble, but only that they were happy and incredibly interested in you.

[Timothy Keller (1950-2023) @timkellernyc]

Every new generation must find ways to communicate the gospel clearly and strikingly, distinguishing it from its opposites and counterfeits.

[Timothy Keller (1950-2023) @timkellernyc]

We want the storyline of our lives to go from strength to strength, from success to success, and end happily ever after. But throughout the Bible we see something completely different — a persistent narrative pattern of life through death or triumph through weakness.

[John Piper @JohnPiper]

“Speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ.” Ephesians 4:15

Love + Truth = growth into Christ.

[Timothy Keller (1950-2023) @timkellernyc]

You and I are unavoidably and irreducibly hope-based creatures. We are controlled not by how we live now, but by what we think will happen later. Christian hope has to do with the ultimate future, not the immediate.

[Timothy Keller (1950-2023) @timkellernyc]

The main problem our heart has is not so much desires for bad things, but our over-desires for good things.

[Gospel in Life @gospelinlife]

When you only see God’s power, you go to him to get things, but when you see his glory, you start to love him not for the things that he gave you, but just for the beauty and the greatness and the glory of who he is in himself. – @timkellernyc

[John Piper @JohnPiper]

“We were so utterly burdened beyond our strength that we despaired of life itself. . . . But that was to make us rely not on ourselves but on God who raises the dead.” 2 Corinthians 1:8–9

If God used affliction to purify Paul’s faith, shall we expect a less painful method?

[Timothy Keller (1950-2023) @timkellernyc]

Sometimes the best wisdom is to not speak much at all. There are situations such that nearly any words will make conditions worse. When you meet with a grieving person who just lost a loved one, words should be sparing.

[Timothy Keller (1950-2023) @timkellernyc]

"Nevertheless, while believers can register under a party affiliation and be active in politics, they should not identify the Christian church or faith with a political party as the only Christian one."

[John Piper @JohnPiper]

“After me comes he who is mightier than I, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.” Mark 1:7

It is a wonderful thing to have a superior.

[Timothy Keller (1950-2023) @timkellernyc]

If you truly care about the truth you will want people to believe it. Say it in the most hearable way possible without compromising in the slightest. Don't say it in an unnecessarily abrasive way and then, when rejected, pat yourself on the back for being valiant for truth.

While God may not protect you from every bad thing that might, has, or could happen to you- ultimately, through the resurrection, you are safe. -Kathy Keller

[John Piper @JohnPiper]

“My time (kairos) is near.” Matthew 26:18

The decisive moment of your life.

It might be your death.

Or the most life-shaping decision.

Don’t meet it mired in triviality.
