Generosity is not only about money. There is more than one currency. Let your generosity be pervasive in life.

Timothy Keller

The Gospel is that Jesus Christ came to earth, lived the life we should have lived and died the death we should have died.
TIMOTHY KELLER

Came Christ Death Died Earth Gospel Jesus Life Live
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.
TIMOTHY KELLER

This leads to deep humility and deep confidence at the same time. It undermines both swaggering and sniveling. I cannot feel superior to anyone, and yet I have nothing to prove to anyone. I do not think more of myself nor less of myself. Instead, I think of myself less.
TIMOTHY KELLER

Anyone Deed Humanity Less Myself Nothing Superior Swagger Think Undermine

God’s grace does not come to people who morally outperform others, but to those who admit their failure to perform and who acknowledge their need for a Savior.

We need to remember that we are saved by grace when we fail. But we need to remember it much more when we succeed.

No, he was in agony, and he looked down at us – denying him, abandoning him, and betraying him – and in the greatest act of love in history, he STAYED. He said, “Father, forgive them, they don’t know what they are doing.” He loved us, not because we were lovely to him, but to make us lovely.

If our identity is in our work, rather than Christ, success will go to our heads, and failure will go to our hearts.
TIMOTHY KELLER

Failure Go Head Heart Identity Rather Success Work
