If you are trying to live a life in accordance with the Bible, the concept and call to justice are inescapable. We do justice when we give all human beings their due as creations of God. Doing justice includes not only the righting of wrongs but generosity and social concern, especially toward the poor and vulnerable.
Timothy KellerPrayer should be done regularly, persistently, resolutely, and tenaciously at least daily, whether we feel like it or not.
Timothy KellerFaith is not primarily a function of how you feel. Faith is living out and believing what truth is despite what you feel.
Timothy KellerJesus may ask of you far more than you planned to give, but He can give to you infinitely more than you dared ask or think.
Timothy KellerWhile we want doubts to give way to faith, we should be merciful and patient with those who are still in a doubt-troubled place.
Timothy KellerJesus lost all his glory so that we could be clothed in it. He was shut out so we could get access. He was bound, nailed, so that we could be free. He was cast out so we could approach. And Jesus took away the only kind of suffering that can really destroy you: that is being cast away from God. He took so that now all suffering that comes into your life will only make you great. A lump of coal under pressure becomes a diamond. And the suffering of a person in Christ only turns you into somebody gorgeous.
