Change happens not just by giving the mind new arguments but also by feeding the imagination new beauties
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'.
Timothy KellerPrayer is awe before an infinite force, and yet it's intimacy with a personal friend.
