Only if you first seek inner forgiveness will your confrontation be temperate, wise, and gracious. Only when you have lost the need to see the other person hurt will you have any chance of actually bringing about change, reconciliation, and healing. You have to submit to the costly suffering and death of forgiveness if there is going to be any resurrection.
Timothy KellerLife in this fallen world is to a great degree meaningless, our aspirations are constantly being frustrated, and sometimes the respectable people are oppressive and bigoted. And yet there is a Good that will triumph over Evil in the end. From a Christian perspective the problem with both kinds of stories is that they tend to blame problems on things besides sin and identify salvation in things besides God โ and therefore are ultimately too simplistic.
Timothy KellerWe would say homosexuality is not the original design for sexuality. Therefore, itโs not good for human flourishing. We want people to do things that are good for human flourishing. But thatโs not what sends you to heaven or Hell.
Timothy KellerChange happens not just by giving the mind new arguments but also by feeding the imagination new beauties
