Hello everyone, Michael Keller here (the son that's helped run Dad's social media since we started in 2013). Thank you so much for all the beautiful memories, stories, and tributes written over the past two weeks about Dad. The original vision for creating these social media 1/3.

If Christianity is actually true it will be offending and correcting you and your society somewhere. It has throughout time.

Never do we find God's grace unless something has shown us our weakness, insufficiency, sin and neediness.

The irony of the gospel is that the only way to be worthy of it is to admit you're completely unworthy of it.

Before anyone can ask what to pray or even how to pray, he or she must first be someone who knows they need prayer.

Religion says, 'I obey; therefore I am accepted.' Christianity says, 'I'm accepted, therefore I obey.'.

Forgiveness without justice is a lack of love—for God, for others, potential victims, and even for the perpetrator. Justice without forgiveness veers into vengefulness and continues the cycle of retaliation—nor can it heal, since perfect justice is impossible in this world.

"They both were using the father. This means that you can rebel against God and be alienated from him either by breaking his rules or by keeping all of them diligently. Careful obedience to God's law may serve as a strategy for rebelling against God.".

We are perfect in Christ (2 Cor 5:21). The Father loves us "even as"--as much as he loves his own son! Even those of us whom no one else notices. And he will eventually turn us into something blindingly beautiful (2 Cor 4:16-18). --Sarah Smith of Golders Green.

This helpful essay would be best read along with Koyzis' analysis of underlying ideologies/idolatries, Christians cannot buy in to any of these "Americas" but can learn from all of them.

He will make. us into…a dazzling, radiant, immortal creature, pulsating all through with such energy and joy and wisdom and love as we cannot now imagine, a bright stainless mirror which reflects back to God perfectly…His own boundless power and delight and goodness." CS Lewis.
