The gospel is an exclusive truth but it's the most inclusive exclusive truth in the world.
Timothy KellerThe gospel is not about choosing to follow advice; it's about being called to follow a King.
Timothy KellerWe are so evil and sinful and flawed that Jesus had to die for us... But we are so lobed and valued that he was willing to due for us.
Timothy KellerAn idol is something that we look to for things that only God can give. Idolatry functions widely inside religious communities when doctrinal truth is elevated to the position of a false god. This occurs when people rely on the rightness of their doctrine for their standing with God rather than on God himself and his grace. It is a subtly but deadly mistake. The sign that you have slipped into this form of self-justification is that you become what the book of Proverbs calls a 'scoffer'.
