    In my opinion, Keller is one of the best preachers of our time. God has given him so much wisdom!

    Tim Keller knew suffering first hand. His insights have helped me to cope and have given me hope Romans 8:28.

    "If I have you by the hand, even death is just a nice night's sleep." WOW!
  • If Rev. Tim Keller was an Orthodox or a Catholic, they would have already officially proclaim him as a Canonized Saint of the Church. I hope the Protestants will not forget him and his beautiful Theology and Legacy.

    Since I became born again in 2019 I got to experience the immense blessings of God. He has been kind to me in every area of my life, changed who I am and blessed me with more than I could have ever asked. But lately I’ve been faced with the reality of death, and that all the people I love will die. It made me question, why am I receiving such beautiful blessings, why are flowers so beautifully made, and the sun always rises and warms me; and then there is the overwhelming fact that my mom, brothers, and children will die. Why? But learning about suffering is very helpfully to understanding that this world was never meant to be my home. And suffering doesn’t diminish Gods love for me. I somehow, being a young Christian amongst God’s blessings expected only good things and a pain free life with God. But I’m hopeful to keep learning about God and the meaning and purpose of life and suffering.
  • one of the first talks on Christianity that I find profound. He is clear and thoughtful.
  • Tim you know it All, His will be done! You have won my heart , you answered exactly what l was struggling with after losing my beloved wife 39 yrs . Amazing man of God you answered everything. Lord be with you 🙏

    People use Christians who don’t live up to standard as the reason for not believing in Christianity. I see their point. Although there are may Christians who inspire and many who disappoint, every Christian on the planet doesn’t live up to the standard that’s why Jesus came. Instead look at Jesus’ life in the gospels and use that as why you would believe or not. He ultimately is the one who saves you in the end. I would use someone who claimed to be God as my standard. The rest of us he promises to keep working on us and with us until that day. The kind of love Christ demonstrated when He was here has not been seen before or since. This is the love that changes lives!!

    Hearing this talk was freeing. Keller did a great job at reminding us that Jesus truly weeps with His beloved. Beautiful
  • I am so glad your sermons are on YouTube. I have been listening to you on the radio. Moreover, I hope you are doing ok. ❤🙏
  • Seeking justice without forgiveness first is simply vengeance! How true...yet, how difficult a task! As always, thank you for sharing God's wisdom Tim!
  • @chendersson2238
    AMEN!! only our God has suffered for us & knows our pain. Praise God
  • As I walk with my wife to another home...after loss of much friendship and support...this message from Doctor Keller is comfort.
  • @janpies3408
    Thank you for a beautiful message... Your message goes hand in hand with the book I am reading how to forgive what you can't forget.

    My dad would always keeping telling us to follow God so i always grew up on some speaking to me on the weekend now listing to him
  • @gracetarpey3585
    Ys would be great to hear Tim and Jordan . Plus with Richard Rohr
  • I’ve been avoiding listening to this preacher because I’ve heard he speaks a lot about suffering. I, on the other hand, prefer “feel good “ sermons. I’m coming to the realization that trying to avoid suffering is just simply not going to work. But also, that suffering may not be as disparaging as I’ve feared. It may, in a way, be a sort of conduit to something better. Something unattainable any other way. Anyway, I’m sort of starting to think that way.

    MY LIFE has become sooo painful. EVERYDAY its something else. I am filled with fear daily. It won't stop. Its not physical either. I am a smart girl age 58, raised decently, well, technically without parents as my mom died at age 9. Dad checked out after that, he remarried a year later. Just need Him to come back nOW.
