Obviously, it is true that we must bring the gospel to the city and hear the gospel while in the city. But we must also recognize how much the city itself brings the gospel to us. The city will challenge us to discover the power of the gospel in new ways. ~ Timothy Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
The most rapturous delights you have ever had - in the beauty of a landscape, or in the pleasure of food, or in the fulfillment of a loving embrace - are like dewdrops compared to the bottomless ocean of joy that it will be to see God face-to-face (1 John 3:1-3). That is what we are in for, nothing less. And according to the Bible, that glorious beauty, and our enjoyment of it, has been immeasurably enhanced by Christ's redemption of us from evil and death. ~ Timothy Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
You have been saved through a dying sacrifice, so you are free to be a living one. ~ Timothy J. Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy J. Keller
The gospel is not about choosing to follow advice; it's about being called to follow a King. ~ Timothy Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
I represent Orlando, Florida, the world's number one vacation destination. ~ Ric Keller
Keller quotes by Ric Keller
All I can tell you is that we have to re-live the gospel every time we pray. We have to re-live it every time we go to church. We have to re-live the gospel on the spot and ask ourselves what we are doing in the courtroom. We should not be there. The court is adjourned. ~ Timothy Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
All prayer is responding to God. In all cases God is the initiator - "hearing" always precedes asking. God comes to us first or we would never reach out to him.92 Yet all prayers are not alike or equally effective in relating to God. The clearer our understanding of who God is, the better our prayers. Instinctive prayer is like an emergency flare in reaction to a general sense of God's reality. Prayer as a spiritual gift is a genuine, personal conversation in reply to God's specific, verbal revelation. ~ Timothy J. Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy J. Keller
Ultimately, it is impossible to separate word and deed ministry because human beings are integrated wholes - body and soul. It is both natural and necessary that ministers of mercy also minister the Word while they are in the process of meeting human needs, and that communicators of the gospel also show compassion with regard to the material needs of the people they are trying to reach. An integrative ministry means weaving together word and deed ministry as much as possible. ~ Timothy Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
I am so bad that He had to die. I am so loved that He was glad to die. ~ Timothy Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
If we can't say "thy will be done" from the bottom of our hearts, we will never know any peace. We will feel compelled to try to control people and control our environment and make things the way we believe they ought to be. ~ Timothy Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
Beauty is a King that needs to be obeyed ~ Nuh Ha Mim Keller
Keller quotes by Nuh Ha Mim Keller
If we are not deliberately thinking about our culture and our context, we will be conformed to it without ever knowing. ~ Timothy Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
Ironically, the insistence that doctrines do not matter is really a doctrine itself. ~ Timothy Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
Task switching exacts a cost few realize they are even paying. ~ Gary Keller
Keller quotes by Gary Keller
It is a mistake always to contemplate the good and ignore the evil, because by making people neglectful it lets in disaster.
There is a dangerous optimism of ignorance and indifference. ~ Helen Keller
Keller quotes by Helen Keller
Whoever wants to be great among you must be your servant and whoever wants to be first must be servant of all ~ Timothy Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
People often ... have no idea how fair the flower is to the touch, nor do they appreciate its fragrance, which is the soul of the flower. ~ Helen Keller
Keller quotes by Helen Keller
to the world. God created both body and soul, and the resurrection of Jesus shows that he is going to redeem both body and soul. The work of the Spirit of God is not only to save souls but also to care and cultivate the face of the earth, the material world. It is hard to overemphasize the uniqueness of this vision. Outside of the Bible, no other major religious faith holds out any hope or even interest in the restoration of perfect shalom, justice, and wholeness in this material world. Vinoth Ramachandra, a Sri Lankan Christian writer, can see ~ Timothy J. Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy J. Keller
God is very patient with us when we are desperate. Pour out your soul to him. ~ Timothy Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
The gospel has supernatural versatility to address the particular hopes, fears, and idols of every culture and every person. ~ Timothy Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
There are thousands of men and women who go to churches and chapels every Sunday, and call themselves Christians. Their names are in the baptismal register. They are reckoned Christians while they live. They are married with a Christian marriage-service. They are buried as Christians when they die. But you never see any "fight" about their religion! Of spiritual strife, and exertion, and conflict, and self-denial, and watching, and warring they know literally nothing at all. Such Christianity . . . is not the Christianity of the Bible. It is not the religion which the Lord Jesus founded, and His Apostles preached. True Christianity is "a fight."3 ~ Timothy J. Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy J. Keller
Our daily work can be a calling only if it is reconceived as God's assignment to serve others. ~ Timothy Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
You're getting to know who the great chefs are through their books. ~ Thomas Keller
Keller quotes by Thomas Keller
To do two things at once is to do neither." - Publilius Syrus ~ Gary Keller
Keller quotes by Gary Keller
If disproportionate results come from one activity, then you must give that one activity disproportionate time. ~ Gary W. Keller
Keller quotes by Gary W. Keller
How do you change your behavior? Change what you worship ~ Timothy Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
Life is to be lived as a magnificent adventure, or not at all. ~ Helen Keller
Keller quotes by Helen Keller
Not the senses I have but what I do with them is my kingdom. ~ Helen Keller
Keller quotes by Helen Keller
Community service has become a patch for morality. You can devote your life to community service and be a total schmuck. ~ Timothy Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
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 Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
All forms of love are necessary, and none are to be ignored, but all of us find some forms of love to be more emotionally valuable to us. They are a currency that we find particularly precious, a language that delivers the message of love to our hearts with the most power. Some types of love are more thrilling and fulfilling to us when we receive them.. ~ Timothy Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
Many people think of the Bible as a book of moral teachings with stories sprinkled through to illustrate the teachings. But it's a lot BETTER THAN THAT ... the Bible is a single true story with teachings sprinkled through to illustrate the story. ~ Timothy Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
Christianity's growth, especially in the developing world, has been explosive. There are now six times more Anglicans in Nigeria alone than there are in all of the United States. There are more Presbyterians in Ghana than in the United States and Scotland combined. Korea has gone from 1 percent to 40 percent Christian in a hundred years, and experts believe the same thing is going to happen in China. If there are half a billion Chinese Christians fifty years from now, that will change the course of human history.6 ~ Timothy J. Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy J. Keller
Jesus's teaching consistently attracted the irreligious while offending the Bible-believing, religious people of his day. However, in the main, our churches today do not have this effect. The kind of outsiders Jesus attracted are not attracted to contemporary churches, even our most avant-garde ones. We tend to draw conservative, buttoned-down, moralistic people. The licentious and liberated or the broken and marginal avoid church. That can only mean one thing. If the preaching of our ministers and the practice of our parishioners do not have the same effect on people that Jesus had, then we must not be declaring the same message that Jesus did. ~ Timothy Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
What would be worse than being born blind? She replied, To have sight without vision. ~ Helen Keller
Keller quotes by Helen Keller
It is not possible for civilization to flow backwards while there is youth in the world. Youth may be headstrong, but it will advance it allotted length. ~ Helen Keller
Keller quotes by Helen Keller
Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world straight in the face. ~ Helen Keller
Keller quotes by Helen Keller
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired, and success achieved. HELEN KELLER ~ Dave Ramsey
Keller quotes by Dave Ramsey
You believe in a loving God. Then along comes criticism, or rejection (say, a relationship breaks up), or some failure that's a blow to your reputation in some realm. Anyone in such a situation will feel quite crestfallen and downcast. But there is a difference between being discouraged and being devastated, between sliding into despondency and not being able to function. If God's love is an abstraction, it is of no consolation. But if it is a felt and lived reality through prayer, then it buoys you up. ~ Timothy Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
Choosing my favorite moment in journalism would be like picking a favorite among my children. I can't pick one favorite. ~ Bill Keller
Keller quotes by Bill Keller
The 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 Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
The only person who dares wake up a king at 3:00 AM for a glass of water is a child. We have that kind of access ~ Timothy Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
He who marries the spirit of the age soon becomes a widower. ~ Helen Keller
Keller quotes by Helen Keller
A kaiseki meal is like that, very small courses over a long period of time. ~ Thomas Keller
Keller quotes by Thomas Keller
Getting extraordinary results is all about creating a domino effect in your life. ~ Gary Keller
Keller quotes by Gary Keller
C. S. Lewis argues that it takes a community of people to get to know an individual person. Reflecting on his own friendships, he observed that some aspects of one of his friend's personality were brought out only through interaction with a second friend. That meant if he lost the second friend, he lost the part of his first friend that was otherwise invisible. "By myself I am not large enough to call the whole man into activity; I want other lights than my own to show all his facets."221 If it takes a community to know an ordinary human being, how much more necessary would it be to get to know Jesus alongside others? By praying with friends, you will be able to hear and see facets of Jesus that you have not yet perceived. ~ Timothy Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
The possible or impossible for Allah Most High involves the divine attribute of qudra or omnipotence, "what He can do". This attribute in turn relates exclusively to the intrinsically possible, not to what is intrinsically impossible, as Allah says, "Verily Allah has power over every thing" (Qur'an 20:29), "thing" being something that in principle can exist. For example, if one asks "Can Allah create square circle?" the answer is that His omnipotence does not relate to it, for a square circle does not refer to anything that in principle could exist: the speaker does not have a distinct idea of what he means, but is merely using a jumble of words.
"On the validity of all religions in the thought of ibn Al-'Arabi and Emir 'Abd al-Qadir: a letter to `Abd al-Matin ~ Nuh Ha Mim Keller
Keller quotes by Nuh Ha Mim Keller
The true task is to unite and organize all workers ... and it is the workers themselves who must secure freedom for themselves ... ~ Helen Keller
Keller quotes by Helen Keller
The silent worker is imagination which decrees reality out of chaos. ~ Helen Keller
Keller quotes by Helen Keller
Even if our own troubles are great, we should still serve. Jesus washed His disciples feet on the way to the cross. ~ Timothy Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
While they were saying among themselves it cannot be done, it was done. ~ Helen Keller
Keller quotes by Helen Keller
Now I feel as if I should succeed in doing something in mathematics, although I cannot see why it is so very important ... The knowledge doesn't make life any sweeter or happier, does it? ~ Helen Keller
Keller quotes by Helen Keller
No matter how dull, or how mean, or how wise a man is, he feels that happiness is his indisputable right. ~ Helen Keller
Keller quotes by Helen Keller
True citizens of the heavenly city are the best residents of the earthly city. ~ Timothy Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
I am no worshiper of cloth of any color, but I love the red flag and what it symbolizes to me and other Socialists. I have a red flag hanging in my study, and if I could I should gladly march with it past the office of the Times and let all the reporters and photographers make the most of the spectacle. ~ Helen Keller
Keller quotes by Helen Keller
If I have the smile of God, all other frowns are inconsequential. ~ Timothy Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
If you want God's grace, all you need is need, all you need is nothing. But that kind of spiritual humility is hard to muster. We come to God saying, "Look at all I've done," or maybe "Look at all I've suffered." God, however, wants us to look to him - to just wash. ~ Timothy Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
Think about this. The God of the universe became a wiggling baby in order to get close to you. ~ Timothy Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
Helen Keller was blind and deaf when she graduated from college with honors. So what's your problem? ~ Charles F. Stanley
Keller quotes by Charles F. Stanley
It is beyond a doubt that everyone should have time for some special delight, if only five minutes each day to seek out a lovely flower or cloud or star, or learn a verse to brighten another's dull task. What is the use of such terrible diligence as many tire themselves out with, if they always postpone their exchanges of smiles with Beauty and Joy to cling to irksome duties and relations? ~ Helen Keller
Keller quotes by Helen Keller
Nothing is more important than to learn how to maintain a life of purpose in the midst of painful adversity. ~ Timothy Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
The "good deeds" done outside trusting the gospel will make a soul go sour. ~ Timothy Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
The best educated human being is the one who understands most about the life in which he is placed. ~ Helen Keller
Keller quotes by Helen Keller
Deep, solemn optimism, it seems to me, should spring from this firm belief in the presence of God in the individual; not a remote, unapproachable governor of the universe, but a God who is very near every one of us, who is present not only in earth, sea and sky, but also in every pure and noble impulse of our hearts. ~ Helen Keller
Keller quotes by Helen Keller
The peace of God is not the absence of fear. It, in fact, is His presence. ~ Timothy Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
I think if you can take one or two things from a cookbook, it's successful. ~ Thomas Keller
Keller quotes by Thomas Keller
Smell is a fallen angel. ~ Helen Keller
Keller quotes by Helen Keller
But we need to realize that there are deeper harvests that happen even when we don't meet with much outward success. We will find our own character changing deeply through ministry. Our consciences will be clear and our hearts happier, since we're less self-indulgent. We'll develop a less selfish and more satisfied character, which will serve us well when we are under pressure. We may not reap quickly, and we may not see all that we reap; but we can know that there is a great harvest for those who sow to please the Spirit. ~ Timothy Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
To stay away from Christianity because part of the Bible's teaching is offensive to you assumes that if there is a God he wouldn't have any views that upset you. Does that belief make sense? ~ Timothy Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
The civilization of a state should be measured by the amount of suffering it prevents and the degree of happiness it makes possible for its citizens. ~ Helen Keller
Keller quotes by Helen Keller
When people say, "God is love," I think they mean that love is extremely important, or that God really wants us to love. But in Christian conception, God really has love as his essence. ~ Timothy Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
My life has been happy because I have had wonderful friends and plenty of interesting work to do, ~ Helen Keller
Keller quotes by Helen Keller
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart ~ Helen Keller
Keller quotes by Helen Keller
I believe Fernand Point is one of the last true gourmands of the 20th century. His ruminations are extraordinary and thought-provoking. He has been an inspiration for legions of chefs. ~ Thomas Keller
Keller quotes by Thomas Keller
If our identity is in our work, rather than Christ, success will go to our heads, and failure will go to our hearts. ~ Timothy Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
I think for Beecher specifically, Keller was with him when his wife died. Beecher had decided after he first got into prison that he had to shut off everybody. You can't let anybody in and you have to become like them and you have to be threatening and all that. ~ Lee Tergesen
Keller quotes by Lee Tergesen
The elder brother is not losing the father's love in spite of his goodness, but because of it. It is not his sins that create the barrier between him and his father, it's the pride he has in his moral record; it's not his wrongdoing but his righteousness that is keeping him from sharing in the feast of the father. ~ Timothy Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
Those dreaming of the perfect match are outnumbered by those who don't really want it at all, though perhaps they can't admit it. After all, our culture makes individual freedom, autonomy and fulfillment the very highest values, and thoughtful people know deep down that any love relationship at all means the loss of all three. You can say, 'I want someone who will accept me just as I am,' but in your heart of hearts you know that you are not perfect, that there are plenty of things about you that need to be changed, and that anyone who gets to know you up close and personal will want to change them. ~ Timothy Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
People "at the top" are eager to attribute their position to their own intellect, savvy, and hard work. The reality is much more complicated. Personal connections, family environment, and what appears to be plain luck determine how successful a person is. We are the product of three things- genetics, environment, and our personal choices- but two of these three factors we have no power over. We are not nearly as responsible for our success as our popular views of God and reality lead us to think. ~ Timothy Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
It was my teacher's genius, her quick sympathy, her loving tact
which made the first years of my education so beautiful. It was
because she seized the right moment to impart knowledge that made
it so pleasant and acceptable to me. She realized that a child's
mind is like a shallow brook which ripples and dances merrily
over the stony course of its education and reflects here a
flower, there a bush, yonder a fleecy cloud; and she attempted to
guide my mind on its way, knowing that like a brook it should be
fed by mountain streams and hidden springs, until it broadened
out into a deep river, capable of reflecting in its placid
surface, billowy hills, the luminous shadows of trees and the
blue heavens, as well as the sweet face of a little flower.
Any teacher can take a child to the classroom, but not every
teacher can make him learn. He will not work joyously unless he
feels that liberty is his, whether he is busy or at rest; he must
feel the flush of victory and the heart-sinking of disappointment
before he takes with a will the tasks distasteful to him and
resolves to dance his way bravely through a dull routine of
textbooks.
My teacher is so near to me that I scarcely think of myself apart
from her. How much of my delight in all beautiful things is
innate, and how much is due to her influence, I can never tell. I
feel that her being is inseparab ~ Helen Keller
Keller quotes by Helen Keller
We have to be careful not to elevate our preferences to moral standards and judge others by them. We only do so to feel superior. ~ Timothy Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
The best things in life are unseen, thats why we close our eyes when we kiss, cry, and dream ~ Helen Keller
Keller quotes by Helen Keller
We rely on our purveyors to tell us what's available and what's good. ~ Thomas Keller
Keller quotes by Thomas Keller
If everyone has the same number of hours in the day, why do some people seem to get so much more done than others? How do they do more, achieve more, earn more, have more? If time is the currency of achievement, then why are some able to cash in their allotment for more chips than others?
The answer is they make getting to the heart of things the heart of their approach. They go small. Going small is ignoring all the things you could do and doing what you should do. It's recognizing that not all things matter equally and finding the things that matter most. It's a tighter way to connect what you do with what you want. It's realizing that extraordinary results are directly determined by how narrow you can make your focus. ~ Gary Keller
Keller quotes by Gary Keller
This is how loose ~ Gary Keller
Keller quotes by Gary Keller
Think as big as you possibly can and base what you do, how you do it, and who you do it with on succeeding at that level. It just might take you more than your lifetime to run into the walls of a box this big. ~ Gary W. Keller
Keller quotes by Gary W. Keller
Love is primarily giving. It's an action that leads to a feeling, not a feeling first. ~ Timothy Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
I seemed to see two camps before me, and there was something radically wrong with both of them. The people most passionate about social justice were moral relativists, while the morally upright didn't seem to care about the oppression going on all over the world. I was emotionally drawn to the former path - what young person wouldn't be? Liberate the oppressed and sleep with who you wanted! But I kept asking the question, If morality is relative, why isn't social justice as well? ~ Timothy Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
Christmas is an invitation by God to say: Look what I've done to come near to you. Now draw near to me ... I want to be a friend. ~ Timothy Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
Is the covenant between God and his people conditional or unconditional? Yes. Yes. Jesus came and fulfilled the conditions so God could love us unconditionally. ~ Timothy Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
The very fact that we have access to God's attention and presence should concentrate the thoughts and elevate the heart. ~ Timothy Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
Nothing we formulate or do can qualify us for access to God. Only grace can do that - based not on our performance but on the saving work of Christ. ~ Timothy Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
The happy ending of the Resurrection is so enormous that it swallows up even the sorrow of the Cross. ~ Timothy Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all. ~ Helen Keller
Keller quotes by Helen Keller
to some parts of biblical teaching," and "B" beliefs, which contradict Christian truth ("B" doctrines) and "lead listeners to find some Christian doctrines implausible or overtly offensive." Take a moment to identify a key "A" doctrine - a teaching from the Bible that would be generally accepted and affirmed by your target culture - and how it expresses itself in the culture through "A" beliefs. What is an example of a "B" belief in your culture, and what "B" doctrines does it conflict with directly? 4. Keller writes, "It is important to learn how to distinguish a culture's A.' doctrines from its 'B' doctrines because knowing which are which provides the key to compelling confrontation. This happens when we base our argument for 'B' doctrines directly on the A.' doctrines." Using the examples you discussed ~ Timothy J. Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy J. Keller
I believe that the welfare of each
is bound up in the welfare of all
I believe that life is given us
so we may grow in love,
and I believe that God is in me
as the sun is in the color and fragrance of a flower
the light in my darkness, the voice in my silence
I believe that only in broken gleams
has the Sun of Truth yet shone upon men ~ Hellen Keller
Keller quotes by Hellen Keller
In short, the Enlightenment privatized marriage, taking it out of the public sphere, and redefined its purpose as individual gratification, not any 'broader good' such as reflecting God's nature, producing character, or raising children. Slowly but surely, this newer understanding of the meaning of marriage has displaced the older ones in Western culture. ~ Timothy Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
They (Amish) don't take no for an answer. ~ Cynthia Keller
Keller quotes by Cynthia Keller
Faith in the gospel restructures our motivations, our self-understanding, our identity, and our view of the world. Behavioral compliance to rules without heart-change will be superficial and fleeting ... We can only change permanently as we take the gospel more deeply into our understanding and into our hearts. We must feed on the gospel, as it were, digesting it and making it part of ourselves. That is how we grow. ~ Timothy Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
Disordered love always leads to misery and breakdown. The only way to 'reorder' our loves is to love God supremely. ~ Timothy Keller
Keller quotes by Timothy Keller
