When Job was prospering, he prayed. When he was suffering, he still prayed.
TIMOTHY KELLERWhen Job was prospering, he prayed. When he was suffering, he still prayed.
TIMOTHY KELLERIt is not the strength of your faith but the object of your faith that actually saves you.
TIMOTHY KELLERThis is why so many churches quench the motivation of people for ministry. In our shoes, Paul would say: Remember the grace God has showered on you—what does living out and enjoying that grace look like in this situation?
TIMOTHY KELLERThe gospel is not only the way to enter the kingdom; it is the way to live in the kingdom.
TIMOTHY KELLERGod 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?
TIMOTHY KELLERThe basic purpose of prayer is not to bend God’s will to mine, but to mold my will into His.
TIMOTHY KELLERThe Gospel is that Jesus Christ came to earth, lived the life we should have lived and died the death we should have died.
TIMOTHY KELLERSuffering can refine us rather than destroy us because God himself walks with us in the fire.
TIMOTHY KELLERThink like a prophet, serve like a priest, and plan like a king.
TIMOTHY KELLERWe need to remember that we are saved by grace when we fail. But we need to remember it much more when we succeed.
TIMOTHY KELLERChristianity does not provide the reason for each experience of pain, but it does provide deep resources for actually facing suffering with hope and courage rather than bitterness and despair
TIMOTHY KELLERThe key question in order to change you is not ‘What would Jesus do?’ but “What has Jesus done for you?”
TIMOTHY KELLERYou are more sinful than you could dare imagine and you are more loved and accepted than you could ever dare hope.
TIMOTHY KELLERThe world values power, comfort, success, and recognition. Jesus frees us to value grief, sacrifice, weakness, and exclusion.
TIMOTHY KELLERFaith is not primarily a function of how you feel.
TIMOTHY KELLERThis is the humbling truth that lies at the heart of Christianity. We love to be our own saviors. Our hearts love to manufacture glory for themselves.
