Timothy J. Keller
“Why did our culture largely abandon God as its Hope? I believe it was because our religious communities have been and continue to be filled with these false gods. Making an idol out of doctrinal accuracy, ministry success, or moral rectitude leads to constant internal conflict, arrogance and self-righteousness, and oppression of those whose views differ. These toxic effects of religious idolatry have led to widespread disaffection with religion in general and Christianity in particular. Thinking we have tried God, we have turned to other Hopes, with devastating consequences.”
Timothy J. Keller, Counterfeit Gods: The Empty Promises of Money, Sex, and Power, and the Only Hope that Matters

Timothy J. Keller
“It is a mistake to think that some of our impulses—say mother love or patriotism—are good, and others, like sex or the fighting instinct, are bad. . . . There are situations in which it is the duty of a married man to encourage his sexual impulse and of a soldier to encourage the fighting instinct. There are also occasions on which a mother’s love for her own children or a man’s love for his own country have to be suppressed or they will lead to unfairness towards other people’s children or countries.”
Timothy Keller, Counterfeit Gods: The Empty Promises of Money, Sex, and Power, and the Only Hope that Matters

“Neuroplasticity and the formative power of technology are profoundly theologically relevant because human beings, created in the image of God and belonging to God “body and soul,”7 are irrevocably physical.”
Samuel James, Digital Liturgies: Rediscovering Christian Wisdom in an Online Age

“Pride makes you a predator, not a person.”
Timothy J. Keller, Counterfeit Gods: When the Empty Promises of Love, Money and Power Let You Down

“In other words, our intellectual technologies are constantly preaching to us, and over time, their sermons transform how we think and act.”
Samuel James, Digital Liturgies: Rediscovering Christian Wisdom in an Online Age
