It's impossible to have met the real Jesus and be indifferent. You either bow down in wonder OR go away offended.
Timothy KellerFear-based repentance makes us hate ourselves. Joy-based repentance makes us hate the sin.
Timothy KellerA church must be more deeply and practically committed to deeds of compassion and social justice than traditional liberal churches and more deeply and practically committed to evangelism and conversion than traditional fundamentalist churches. This kind of church is profoundly counter-intuitive to American observers. It breaks their ability to categorize (and dismiss) it as liberal or conservative. Only this kind of church has any chance in the non-Christian west.
