By praying with friends, you will be able to hear and see facets of Jesus that you have not yet perceived.
Timothy KellerDo you realize that it is only in the gospel of Jesus Christ that you get the verdict before the performance?
Timothy KellerThe key question in order to change you is not 'What would Jesus do?' but "What has Jesus done for you?"
Timothy KellerJust because we don't see a reason for evil and suffering doesn't mean there's not a reason for it.
Timothy KellerLove without truth is sentimentality; it supports and affirms us but keeps us in denial about our flaws. Truth without love is harshness; it gives us information but in such a way that we cannot really hear it. God's saving love in Christ, however, is marked by both radical truthfulness about who we are and yet also radical, unconditional commitment to us. The merciful commitment strengthens us to see the truth about ourselves and repent. The conviction and repentance moves us to cling to and rest in God's mercy and grace.
