Tim Keller Quotes

“Love without truth is sentimentality; it supports and affirms us but keeps us in denial about our flaws. Truth without love is harshness; it gives us information but in such a way that we cannot really hear it.”
― Timothy Keller, The Meaning of Marriage: Facing the Complexities of Commitment with the Wisdom of God

“As Tim Keller once put it: The purpose of Sabbath is not simply to rejuvenate yourself in order to do more production, nor is it the pursuit of pleasure. The purpose of Sabbath is to enjoy your God, life in general, what you have accomplished in the world through his help, and the freedom you have in the gospel—the freedom from slavery to any material object or human expectation. The Sabbath is a sign of the hope that we have in the world to come.”
― Daniel Montgomery, Faithmapping: A Gospel Atlas for Your Spiritual Journey

“The most right and virtuous word or deed done at the wrong time, done in the wrong way, done in the wrong order can blow everything up.”
― Timothy J. Keller
