Love is the effort and desire to make someone else everything they were created to be.
Timothy KellerEveryone will be forgotten, nothing we do will make any difference, and all good endeavors, even the best, will come to naught. Unless there is God. If the God of the Bible exists, and there is a True Reality beneath and behind this one, and this life is not the only life, then every good endeavor, even the simplest ones, pursued in response to God's calling, can matter forever.
Timothy KellerThe best people often have terrible lives. Job is one example, and Jesusโthe ultimate โJob,โ the only truly, fully innocent sufferer โ is another.
Timothy KellerIt is one thing to say that science is only equipped to test for natural causes and cannot speak to any others. It is quite another to insist that science proves that no other causes could possibly exist. . . . There would be no experimental model for testing the statement: 'No supernatural cause for any natural phenomenon is possible.' It is therefore a philosophical presupposition and not a scientific finding.
