“You can pull all the empires of the world into your soul, and still not be satisfied.” -Tim Keller
A Unique Revelation of God’s Love
“And you say, ‘Well the religions of the world say God is a God of love.’ Don’t you believe that. Buddhism doesn’t believe that God is personal. Neither does Hinduism really. And actually one time I remember having a dialogue, a public dialogue, with the Muslims–Muslims and Christians together–and we talked about God’s love. And the Muslims are willing to say ‘We believe in God being merciful,’ but when I brought up the Christian idea from the Bible, ‘God is our spouse, God is our lover, God is our father, God is our friend, God sheds his love abroad in my heart.’ And our Muslim friends said, ‘That is disrespectful. We would never talk about God that way.'” -Tim Keller, sermon “The God Who Is”

“A faith that doesn’t require success, doesn’t need success is the ultimate success.” -Tim Keller, sermon “A Better Resurrection”
The Problem with Critiquing Claims of Exclusivity
“It is no more narrow to claim that one religion is right than to claim that one way to think about all religions (namely that all are equal) is right. We are all exclusive in our beliefs about religion, but in different ways.” -Tim Keller, The Reason for God
Salvation Hurts Sometimes

The Game Plan for Forgiving Others
“Tim Keller once defined forgiveness as resolving not to bring the offence up again with God, with the person who offended us, or with ourselves. Often it is the final one of these that is the most difficult.” Sam Allberry, Why Bother With Church?
Satan’s Control
