Some thoughts on how we do internet interactions: Archibald Alexander, first professor at Princeton Seminary: “Attribute to an antagonist no opinion he does not own, though it be a necessary consequence.” (quoted in David Calhoun, Princeton Seminary, vol I, p.92).
It is an illusion to think that if we find our one true soulmate then we will be happy and we will be fixed.
If we knew what God knows, we would ask exactly for what he gives.
If you were a hundred times worse than you are, your sins would be no match for His mercy. From: The Prodigal Prophet buff.ly/3jAWzgB
We are not saved by the perfection of our turning and trusting-our repentance and faith-but by the object of our faith, Jesus and his saving work. If our forgiveness depended on the purity of our repentance and faith, then our salvation would be because of our good works.
Even our repentance needs to be repented of. Our heart motivations are never truly pure.
We tend to find deficiencies in others where we feel we are strong.
All Christians have opportunities to serve those who might never come to church or listen to a sermon.
If I have the smile of God, all other frowns are inconsequential.
Psalms is about how to throw ourselves fully on God. Proverbs is about how having trusted God, we should live it out buff.ly/3e7dB5j
If you lose hope for anybody or if you show contempt for anybody, you don’t really know you’re a sinner saved by grace. You’re more religious than you are a Christian. The gospel is for everybody. – @timkellernyc Sermon, "A Woman, a Slave, and a Gentile"
Jesus was so holy he had to die for us but so loving that he was glad to die for us.
Unless you point to the good news of God's grace people will not be able to bear the bad news of God's judgement.
Do you realize what’s going to happen on the day of the resurrection? Everything sad will become untrue. This is the most radical view of suffering. – @timkellernyc Sermon, "Stay with the Ship"
To get a deeper theology of place, culture, and cities check out Center Church. buff.ly/4a4TwYn.
If anything becomes more fundamental than God to your happiness, meaning of life, and identity then it is an idol.
Increased time on social media correlates with a measurable loss of empathy. See Sherry Turkle's research on this. buff.ly/3x26wzv
The Christian understanding of sin is different than what most people think. One cannot preach a sermon or say a prayer without sinning. That means "sin" is not only wrong actions, it can even be right actions done for the wrong reasons.
Only if someone’s imagination is captured will most people give a fair hearing to the strong arguments for the truth of Christianity.
Let us appeal to heart and imagination as well as to reason as we speak publicly about our faith in Jesus.

My piece in today's Church Times reflecting on the impact of Tim Keller's ministry. @ChurchTimes @timkellernyc churchtimes.co.uk/articles/2023/…
Tim Keller was one of the kindest, most gentle and most well informed people I have ever known. I have listened to each of his sermons more than once. He was also one of the most inspiring and motivating men I have ever known. We have lost a great one today. He has gone home.…
Rev. Timothy Keller, an evangelical pastor who thrived in Manhattan and became a best-selling author, is dead at 72. nytimes.com/2023/05/19/nyr… I disagreed with Tim but liked and admired him, and he was one of my best interlocutors about faith: nytimes.com/2016/12/23/opi… RIP, Tim.
I’m heartbroken today at the death of a tremendous man who has had a profound impact on my life and ministry: The Rev. Tim Keller. A tribute…
This book is over the top - reading it super slow - written over 40 years ago - we see what became of the new expressions and where we are now - how did this guy see the future so clearly? Every page exceptional - have u read this @alanhirsch @lensweet
@bobrobertsjr @alanhirsch @lensweet A great influence to @timkellernyc Redeemer movement. Prescient.
.@timkellernyc Tim Keller is heavy on my heart this morning. Praying and asking God to step in and heal his body.
@AndrewsWinnipeg I saw that too. 'Different' neither equals nor entails 'contradictory.' Two statements can't be contradictory without being different, but they can be different w/o being contradictory. TK reads them as different wrt genre to *avoid* contradiction
@ParticularGreen @timkellernyc I think what Keller is saying that Christianity doesn’t fit into human categories, including partisan politics. The Trinity is a good example of category-defying biblical teaching.

This in itself should reshape American preaching. But y’all know I’ve been trying to say that. It probably won’t…but it should!
Jesus warns people more often about greed than about sexual immorality, yet few thinks they are guilty of it.
This is true and it's equally true that biblically orthodox Christians fit with all 4 of Packer's visions of America. Justice, Freedom, Stewardship, and Belonging are all strong biblical principles. Being cross-pressured is not just what we're against. It's also what we're for.
Thread on Christians and Culture: Christians following the Bible do not fit well into the current political left or political right ideologies. See: thegospelcoalition.org/article/5-feat…
Organized religion is in trouble, according to studies of church attendance and related trends Aiming to help churches reach a changing country, The Gospel Coalition (@TGC) has launched The Keller Center for Cultural Apologetics, named after @timkellernyc julieroys.com/keller-center-…
FORGIVENESS: Some brilliant thoughts from Tim Keller. Secular culture increasingly rejects the virtue of forgiveness. 1/5
