When we try and use fear or pride to stop from sinning, we are forgetting that we sin because of either fear or pride.
Timothy KellerThe future is already won, and the more hostile the culture, the easier it is to communicate the difference of Christianity.
Timothy KellerThe early church was strikingly different from the culture around it in this way - the pagan society was stingy with its money and promiscuous with its body. A pagan gave nobody their money and practically gave everybody their body. And the Christians came along and gave practically nobody their body and they gave practically everybody their money.
Timothy KellerWe are regularly in danger of having too light a view of our sin and also too light a grasp of what Jesus has done to free us from our sin.
