Gospel-Centered Spiritual Formation: The Gospel Forms
April 26, 2012Gospel-Shaped Humor
April 19, 2012I found the excerpt below from Keller Quotes to be incredibly insightful.

Most of the men my age or younger than me [...]
The Canceling Power of a Divine Kiss
August 29, 2011Yesterday I preached a message entitled “A Celebration of Grace”. It was the conclusion of a 4-part series on grace from passages in the Gospel according to Luke.

Evangelize as Your Edify, Edify as You Evangelize
July 14, 2011One of the biggest tensions regarding philosophy of gathered services is the issue of breadth and depth, or who should be the priority and focus of the ministry.

Tim Keller on the Nature of a Missional Church
February 17, 2011From his lecture “Contextual and Missional” at Urban Plant Life Conference in London, Tim Keller talks about the nature of a missional church: A missional church gears absolutely every single part of its life–its worship, community, public discourse and preaching education–for the presence of non-believers from the culture surrounding it. A missional church’s congregation reflects [...]
POTW :: Tim Keller Reader

You can find these words in his message “On Being the Church in the Culture” from the 2006 Reform & Resurgence Conference. Religion (salvation by works) v. Gospel (salvation by grace) [Acceptance] “I [...]
