Worry is not believing God will get it right, and bitterness is believing God got it wrong.

When over the years someone has seen you at your worst, and knows you with all your strengths and flaws, yet commits him or herself to you wholly, it is a consummate experience. To be loved but not known is comforting but superficial. To be known and not loved is our greatest fear. But to be fully known and truly loved is, well, a lot like being loved by God. It is what we need more than anything.

— Timothy Keller, The Meaning of Marriage

“To be loved but not known is comforting but superficial. To be known and not loved is our greatest fear. But to be fully known and truly loved is, well, a lot like being loved by God. It is what we need more than anything. It liberates us from pretense, humbles us out of our self-righteousness, and fortifies us for any difficulty life can throw at us.” ― Timothy Keller, The Meaning of Marriage: Facing the Complexities of Commitment with the Wisdom of God

"Deixar de orar, então, não é meramente quebrar alguma regra religiosa – é deixar de tratar Deus como Deus. É um pecado contra a sua glória."

Tim Keller Dies at Age 72: 'I'm Ready to See Jesus,' He Said in Final Hours

Author and pastor Tim Keller, who planted a church in New York City that grew to 5,000 attendees and who pioneered work in urban ministry, d

For those of you who, like me, have enjoyed and been blessed by the books and many quotes of Tim Keller, I share this article from Crosswalk.com about his passing on 19th May. A sad day for us still in the world, but our loss is Heaven's gain. Prayers and condolences to Tim Keller's family and friends.

“Timothy J. Keller, husband, father, grandfather, mentor, friend, pastor, and scholar died this morning at home," Michael Keller wrote. "Dad waited until he was alone with Mom. She kissed him on the forehead and he breathed his last breath. We take comfort in some of his last words. 'There is no downside for me leaving, not in the slightest.' See you soon Dad."

Keller had been in and out of the hospital in recent days before entering hospice Thursday. Michael Keller said his father had prayed during his final hours, "I'm thankful for all the people who've prayed for me over the years. I'm thankful for my family, that loves me. I'm thankful for the time God has given me, but I'm ready to see Jesus. I can't wait to see Jesus. Send me home."

Just four months ago, he appeared on Premier's Unbelievable podcast, telling them the diagnosis had drawn him closer to God. "My wife and I would never want to go to the kind of prayer life and spiritual life we had before the cancer," he said. "Everyone knows they're going to die," Keller added. People, though, "suppress that" knowledge and "live as if they're never going to die." Pancreatic cancer, he said, had few treatments. He said his doctor told him, "You're going to die of this, sooner or later, because we don't have a cure for it." "The way you look at God, the way you look at your spouse, the way you look at everything just changes when you actually realize time is limited and I'm mortal," he told Unbelievable.

Although battling cancer, Keller proclaimed the gospel on social media until the final weeks before his death. "If Jesus rose from the dead, then you have to accept all that he said; if he didn't rise from the dead, then why worry about any of what he said? The issue on which everything hangs is not whether or not you like his teaching but whether or not he rose from the dead," Keller tweeted in April.”
