Yet those who enter a relationship with God inevitably look back and recognize that God’s grace had sought them out, breaking them open to new realities.” “Certainly we should be very active in seeking God, and Jesus himself called us to ‘ask, seek, knock’ in order to find him. Jesus was the most morally upright person who ever lived, yet he had a life filled with the experience of poverty, rejection, injustice, and even torture.” “The basic premise of religion-that if you live a good life, things will go well for you-is wrong. “How could you possibly know that no religion can see the whole truth unless you yourself have the superior, comprehensive knowledge of spiritual reality you just claimed none of the religions have?” “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. You can devote your life to community service and be a total schmuck.” “Community service has become a patch for morality. On what basis, then, does the atheist judge the natural world to be horribly wrong, unfair, and unjust?” “If the evolutionary mechanism of natural selection depends on death, destruction, and violence of the strong against the weak, then these things are perfectly natural. “Underneath all notions of justice is a set of faith assumptions that are essentially religious, and these are often not acknowledged.” “Two things we want so desperately, glory and relationship, can coexist only in God.” ![]() “Properly understood, Christianity is by no means the opiate of the people. “Ironically, the insistence that doctrines do not matter is really a doctrine itself.” “If Jesus rose from the dead, then you have to accept all that he said if he didn’t rise from the dead, then why worry about any of what he said? The issue on which everything hangs is not whether or not you like his teaching but whether or not he rose from the dead.” “Believers should acknowledge and wrestle with doubts… It is no longer sufficient to hold beliefs just because you inherited them.” We are all exclusive in our beliefs about religion, but in different ways.” “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. “If you are intolerant of intolerant people then you are intolerant and doing the same thing you accuse of others.” It’s about how your beliefs lead you to treat people who disagree with you.” “Tolerance isn’t about not having beliefs. “Any person who only sticks with Christianity as long as things are going his or her way, is a stranger to the cross.” Tim Keller Quotes on Apologetics, Christianity, and Doubts Ministry: Center Church: Doing Balanced, Gospel-Centered Ministry in Your City, Ministries of Mercy, Preaching: Communicating Faith in an Age of Skepticism ( my review).Expository Guides & Bible Studies: Judges, Galatians, Romans 1-7 and 8-16.Devotionals: The Songs of Jesus: A Year of Daily Devotions in the Psalms ( my review), God’s Wisdom for Navigating Life: A Year of Daily Devotions in the Book of Proverbs, The Good Book Company 90-Day Devotionals.Christian Living: The Prodigal God, Counterfeit Gods, Encounters with Jesus, Every Good Endeavor, Prayer: Experiencing Awe and Intimacy with God ( my review), Walking with God through Pain and Suffering, Jesus the King.Apologetics: The Reason for God & Making Sense of God ( my review).Most come from his books while a few come from his Twitter (A quick Google search will help you find the origin of a quote if you want it.)
