Keller (“Reason for God”, 13):
“Berger goes on, however, to point out that absolute relativism can only exist if the relativists exempt themselves from their own razor. If you infer from the social conditionedness of all belief that ‘no belief can be held as universally true for everyone,’ that itself is a comprehensive claim about [...]
Tim Keller explains why God sends delays into our lives,
We’re not God, but we have such delusions of grandeur that our self-righteousness and arrogance sometimes have to be knocked out of our heart by God’s delays. Right now, is God delaying something in your life? Are you ready to give up? Are you impatient [...]
Tim Keller says the following,
People who believe more must not be hard on those who believe less. Why? Because faith ultimately is not a virtue; it’s a gift (Keller, “King’s Cross”, p. 56).

From Tim Keller’s “The King’s Cross”:
“The self-discovery person says, ‘Oh, no, the progressive, open-minded people are in and the judgmental bigots are out – and of course we’re the open-minded ones.’ In Western Cosmopolitan culture there’s an enormous amount of self-righteousness about self-righteousness. We progressive urbanites are so much better than people who think [...]
“The gospel of Jesus Christ is an offense to both religion and irreligion. It can’t be co- opted by either moralism or relativism” (King’s Cross 46).
In our most recent meeting of local Reformed pastors and laity, that we dub the “Reformation Society”, Pastor Jonathan VanHoogen from Cloverdale United Reformed Church quoted from Tim Keller’s “Ministers of Mercy” as follows (this is B.B. Warfield quoting a sermon from Robert Murray M’Cheyne on p. 65, also HT to Pastor [...]

Josh Harris posted some sermon notes on his blog from some respected preachers, inclusing the likes of Mark Driscoll and Tim Keller. Being a preacher myself, I was curious to see what their notes looked like. I was expecting some diversity, but wasn’t prepared for just how different the notes [...]
