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

You may think, “My biggest problem is if I could just make the money, if I could just get the job, if this door would open …” You think your problems are the circumstances, but circumstances cannot destroy your life the way character flaws can. It’s your character that is your

"Religion is what you do with your solitude." - William Temple. i.e. The things we daydream about most readily and instinctively when nothing else is occupying our thoughts reveal what we live for and serve.

Rightly so, at Christmas, people who are suffering want to know, “Why should I be merry? What basis do I really have for joy?” The answer is that if Christmas really happened, if God really did open a cleft in the pitiless walls of this world, if he broke into our broken reality

It is possible to think you are 'madly in love' with someone, and yet it is really just an attraction to someone who can meet your needs.

Bob Dylan said, "Ya gotta serve somebody." Translation: No one is really free. You have to live for something and whatever is the meaning of your life is the Lord of your Life.

The image of God and 'common grace' means non-Christians are never as bad as their wrong beliefs would otherwise make them; Remaining sin means Christians are never as good as their right beliefs should make them. So Christians should not act and feel as superior as many do.

The gospel gives you freedom to admit who you are when the information comes, to see where you do need to change, the freedom to know yourself. – @timkellernyc Sermon, Mortification Through Joy https://t.co/uSGCKgtLVY

The sabbath is about restoring the diminished. It's about replenishing the drained. It's about repairing the broken. It's NOT just an off day.

Jesus is unpredictable yet reliable. Gentle yet powerful. Authoritative yet humble. Human yet divine.

God is active beneath the surface of things, even when he seems absent at the time.

Because Jesus will be the infallible judge, we don't have to be. We can let our grudges go and our revenge die.

There are two ways to be self-centered. One is by being very bad and breaking all the rules. The other is by being very good and becoming a self-righteous Pharisee. – @timkellernyc Sermon, Splitness https://t.co/uSGCKgtLVY

The opposite of joy is not sadness. It's hopelessness.

God never calls us in to love and change us without then sending us out to reach and serve others.

All money, talent, health, power, and pleasure in the world are God's. But the greatest treasure he can give us is life in his presence.

Books you should read: #4 Christopher Watkin-Thinking through Creation: Gen 1-2 as Tools of Cultural Critique. This is a remarkable book, from a top flight expert in post-structuralist French philosophy-meaning he understands our current cultural context. https://t.co/8zb2NjSxwR

"God, help me to remember how accepted I am in Christ—so I will have the freedom and poise necessary to live without fear."
