Gospel repentance is tapping into the joy of our union with Christ in order to weaken our need to do anything contrary to God’s heart.

Fear-based repentance makes us hate ourselves. Joy-based repentance makes us hate the sin.

Christmas means Jesus came down and got involved in suffering. He hears your cries.

In American society most people only know of either a mild & nominal Christianity or a separatist & legalistic Christianity.
Neither is the real thing.

If you think you really understand the gospel - you don’t. If you think that you haven’t even begun to truly understand the gospel - you do.

Timothy Keller Sermons Now Available For Free

They used to charge a modest price for their mp3 sermons, but in response to demand they have made 150 sermons available online, free to download and share.

Dr. Timothy Keller of Redeemer Presbyterian Church, Manhattan, is a dynamite speaker, and is excellent at making Biblical truth come alive to today’s scientific, post-modern minds. If you haven’t heard him, I hope you will listen to some of these sermons.

If you’re a skeptic, I hope you will check out Keller, who is one of the greatest apologists of our day.
