Because sin is not just breaking the rules, it is putting yourself in the place of God as Savior, Lord, and Judge just as each son sought to displace the authority of the father in his own life.
Timothy KellerA sense of Jesusโ absence might be a sign of his presence- a sign that heโs working already in your life.
Timothy KellerIf 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 KellerIf the church does not identify with the marginalized, it will itself be marginalized. This is God's poetic justice.
