“So live in the light of the resurrection and renewal of this world, and of yourself, in a glorious, never-ending, joyful dance of grace.”
— Timothy Keller
“The great basis of Christian assurance is not how much our hearts are set on God, but how unshakably his heart is set on us.”
“The greatness of prayer is nothing but an extension of the greatness and glory of God in our lives To fail to pray, then, is not to merely break some religious rule – it is a failure to treat God as God. It is a sin against his glory.”
“Mercy and forgiveness must be free and unmerited to the wrongdoer. If the wrongdoer has to do something to merit it, then it isn’t mercy, but forgiveness always comes at a cost to the one granting the forgiveness.”
“Those who understand the gospel cannot possibly look down on anyone, since they were saved by sheer grace, not by their perfect doctrine or strong moral character.”
“Christ’s resurrection not only gives you hope for the future; it gives you hope to handle your scars right now.”
“Jesus is the only Lord who, if you receive him, will fulfill you completely, and, if you fail him, will forgive you eternally.”
“Jesus says, “I want you to follow me so fully, so intensely, so enduringly that all other attachments in your life look weak by comparison””
“If you say: I believed in God, I trusted God and He didn’t come through – You only trusted God to meet your agenda.”
“Jesus may ask of you far more than you planned to give, but He can give to you infinitely more than you dared ask or think.”
“It is impossible to forgive someone if you feel superior to him or her.”
“To discover the real you, look at what you spend time thinking about when no one is looking.”
“Jesus’s miracles are not just a challenge to our minds, but a promise to our hearts, that the world we all want is coming.”
“Most people want Jesus as a consultant rather than a King, and He does not come that way.”
“All change comes from deepening your understanding of the salvation of Christ and living out the changes that understanding creates in your heart.”
“Don’t obey God to get things, obey God to get God.”
“The resurrection of the body means that we do not merely receive a consolation for the life we have lost but a restoration of it. We not only get the bodies and lives we had but the bodies and lives we wished for but had never before received.”
“Trust is accepting what God sends into your life whether you understand it or not.”
“The gospel is not just the “ABCs” but the “A-to-Z” of the Christian life.”
“The product of a true, growing, gospel-centered nature is often gentleness.”
“Religion poses a danger of creating division or intolerance between groups of people. However, the gospel of Jesus lead us to three things: humble service, reconciling behavior that is neither patronizing nor self-righteous, and a love toward people who hold different beliefs than we do.”
“In religion, you obey because God is useful. In Christianity, you obey because God is beautiful.”
“If you seek to serve people more than to gain power, you will not only serve people, you will gain influence.”
“The world is a dark place, and yet the coming of Jesus Christ shows us no one and nothing is hopeless.”
“To fear the Lord is to be overwhelmed with wonder before the greatness of God and his love.”
“Sin has caused our affections to stray, propelling us to worship relationships, achievement, and work-everything but God.”
“If Jesus rose from the dead, then you have to accept all that he said.”
“Jesus does not just bring good news; he is the good news.”
“The Gospel worldview equips the artist with a unique combination of optimism and realism about life.”
“The goal of prayer is not just the sharing of our ideas, but also of ourselves.”
“The world is polarizing over religion. It is getting both more religious and less religious at the same time.”
“The church should be a place where people can be free to say that they are sinners.”
“Christ will do everything for you or nothing. He’s either all of your righteousness or none.”
“Prayer gives us relief from the melancholy burden of self-absorption .”
“The basic premise of religion– that if you live a good life, things will go well for you– is wrong. Jesus was the most morally upright person who ever lived, yet He had a life filled with the experience of poverty, rejection, injustice, and even torture.”
“Only with time do we really learn who the other person is and come to love the person for him- or herself and not just for the feelings and experiences they give us.”
“To stand in the presence of God, that is what the Gospel is. The Gospel is not primarily about forgiveness. It’s not primarily about good feelings. It’s not primarily about power. All those things are byproducts, sparks. It’s primarily about the presence of God.”
“Jesus came into this world not as a philosopher or a general but as a carpenter. All work matters to God.”
“God’s grace and forgiveness, while free to the recipient, are always costly for the giver...”
“If we can’t “love the sinner; hate the sin” then how can we relate to ourselves? Love who we are in Christ but still hate the sin remaining.”
“How do you change your behavior? Change what you worship.”
“God looks at the anxious and says, I tore my Son to shreds for you, and you’re afraid I will not give you what you need?”
“Disordered love always leads to misery and breakdown. The only way to ‘reorder’ our loves is to love God supremely.”
“Only if you are part of a community of believers seeking to resemble, serve, and love Jesus will you ever get to know him and grow into his likeness.”
“The world can’t save itself. That’s the message of Christmas.”
“How could a good, all-powerful God allow suffering?”
“I am God and I am coming to find you.”
“Men, you’ll never be a good groom to your wife unless you’re first a good bride to Jesus.”
“The key question in order to change you is not ‘What would Jesus do?’ but “What has Jesus done for you?””
“Power, approval, comfort, and control are meta-idols that hold sway over our daily lives.”
