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.
Timothy KellerAll I know is, if I don't care about the poor, if my church doesn't care about the poor, that's evil.
Timothy KellerWe modern people think of miracles as the suspension of the natural order, but Jesus meant them to be the restoration of the natural order.
Timothy KellerAn idol is something that we look to for things that only God can give. Idolatry functions widely inside religious communities when doctrinal truth is elevated to the position of a false god. This occurs when people rely on the rightness of their doctrine for their standing with God rather than on God himself and his grace. It is a subtly but deadly mistake. The sign that you have slipped into this form of self-justification is that you become what the book of Proverbs calls a 'scoffer'.
