While your character flaws may have created mild problems for other people, they will create major problems for your spouse and your marriage.
Timothy KellerThe Christian faith gives us a new conception of work as the means by which God loves and cares for his world through us.
Timothy KellerWhen love of one's people becomes an absolute, it turns into racism. When love of equality turns into a supreme thing, it can result in hatred and violence toward anyone who has led a privileged life. It is the settled tendency of human societies to turn good political causes into counterfeit gods.
Timothy KellerWhile other worldviews lead us to sit in the midst of lifeโs joys, foreseeing the coming sorrows, Christianity empowers its people to sit in the midst of this worldโs sorrows, tasting the coming joy.
Timothy KellerThe Bibleโs purpose is not so much to show you how to live a good life. The Bibleโs purpose is to show you how Godโs grace breaks into your life against your will and saves you from the sin and brokenness otherwise you would never be able to overcomeโฆ religion is โif you obey, then you will be acceptedโ. But the Gospel is, โif you are absolutely accepted, and sure youโre accepted, only then will you ever begin to obeyโ. Those are two utterly different things. Every page of the Bible shows the difference.
