If you add anything to Jesus as a requirement for being happy, that's your real king.
Timothy KellerAt the root of all our disobedience are particular ways in which we continue to seek control of our lives through systems of works-righteousness. The way to progress as a Christian is to continually repent and uproot these systems the same way we become Christians, namely by the vivid depiction (and re-depiction) of Christโs saving work for us, and the abandoning of self-trusting efforts to complete ourselves. We must go back again and again to the gospel of Christ-crucified, so that our hearts are more deeply gripped by the reality of what he did and who we are in him.
Timothy KellerCities have more โimage of Godโ per square inch than anywhere else, and so we must not idealize the country as somehow a more spiritual place than the city.
Timothy KellerJesus didn't come to tell us the answers to the questions of life, he came to be the answer.
