8.50 what happened was a reaction to totalitarianism

4 min from end: 'very often you feel like your heart's dead doesn't matter' ... I struggle through we keep praying, meditating, obeying, failing, trying again til we sense God's presence in our life.

Great sermon again by Tim Keller

Sure, every child that dies is God's plan, every girl held captive for 20 +years in a basement is ultimately for the glory of a God who is all love. Hell, apparently most people are predestined to hell for His glory.

Pretty disappointed. Timothy Keller is an intellectual giant. His death was a great loss for Christians who enjoyed honest dialogue and challenging thought. But this group really just talked a bunch of nonsensical mush. Part of the reason for civility is that it should allow us to honestly and openly tackle tough issues without personalities, pride, and concern about hurt feelings interfering. If you're offended by honesty, you simply have no place in the public square.

Incompetence. They should have hired an Economics major.

Retail os a deep expression of who we are, no one believes that. Clueless.

I having trouble reconciling kellers take on “fate” (illustrated by reference to Oedipus) and his Presbyterian alliance.

So enlightening to those of us who know only a little of these things. MR incarnates much of what she talks about and admires. And that is hugely persuasive. Thanks for hosting her. The questions were sometimes long-winded. (It is hard to be explanatory and clear and pithy when one is opposite someone who is daunting by nature of how much they know) Gilead is so good - and the science of the internet so helpful in allowing me to look up what MR was writing about

"Nobody ever learns who they really are by being told. They have to be shown. You have to wrestle. You have to experience weakness. And then finally you see where the blessing should really be coming from."

Keller is definitely a new Marxists, the question is, is he a Christian?

Good to hear from Tim Keller, who is on point as usual. I still remember that review on Yelp of Redeemer Presbyterian Church from some ten years ago. Nothing I've ever heard or read about Redeemer has ever been proven more accurate or cogent. Excerpts edited for brevity and clarity: 1/17/2011 I have been to Redeemer West side and East side services. I still go from time to time. I used to take part in several of the volunteer opportunities at Redeemer. First, I will start with the founding Pastor Tim Keller. Tim Keller's sermons are some of the most thought provoking you will ever hear in your life anywhere! He is also an author. I would go so far as to say that he is one of the great thinkers of our time. He is also a visionary in many ways. My husband and I regularly purchase and listen to his sermons. So why only 3 stars? Because a church is more than just a pastor. Now there is no perfect church. But there are some serious things lacking here: First of all, there is no prayer meeting or focus on corporate prayer for the entire church. The very basic part of the Christian faith that Jesus himself said with his own lips was Matthew 21:13. "It is written," He said to them, "'My house will be called a house of prayer, but you are making it a den of robbers." Prayer is just talking to God, it doesn't require any special talent, skill or training. So the lack of prayer at this church is very alarming to me. And I haven't heard anyone speak of repentance at Redeemer --- ever. Again, I have listened to hundreds of sermons and been to at least a hundred services both on the W est and East sides. The church ministries are called "ministries" but are run like any secular organization. Redeemer Presbyterian is run like a business, a well-oiled corporate machine, and not a church. The other 2 things which are cultural and not spiritual but are off-putting to me are: 1. Most of the members and regular visitors to Redeemer are transplants, not New Yorkers, so the church is a large city church but run like a small town church where there are very few native New Yorkers. It seems most of the members are not established in the city and are just passing through. 2. The other is that it seems the majority of the congregation is looking for a spouse, and very aggressively. When you walk in, the first thing people do is look at your hand for a ring, and then are bold enough to ask if it is a wedding ring. That experience is not unique to me, but to all of the guests I bring here. In addition, in any volunteer group I have been to, the small talk from both men and women centered around trying to find a spouse. Then the few married people were usually complaining about their marriages. The pastor knows about this, and does see it as a problem because he addresses it in his sermons. But people don't seem to listen. It is like they are all living in 1950's rural America. One other major problem I have with the church is that it is mostly white and Asian. I believe the reason is that the congregation ---- and this is not the pastoral team's fault --- seems to be focused on their careers and making money, and not on God at all. God is there to bless their agendas; this is how they seem to operate. I believe this is true for a few reasons. One, the culture of the church and focus of the congregation seems to be on Whites and Asians who make good money and have high-end careers, rather than on God. A huge basic tenet of the Christian faith is Death to Self. But at Redeemer, when you hear testimonies approved by the pastoral staff, they usually start with the person's professional credentials. I do not see any Death to Self there, but actually the opposite: It's "Look at what I can do for God because of my high income and education." It is not wrong to have a high income or education as a Christian. But the focus (at Redeemer) is wrong. So for these reasons, I think the church is best for those who are not Christians yet but are seekers of God, or those established in the faith already. It is not good in my opinion for the average believer looking for a home church. But by all means, purchase Tim Keller's sermons and do something that the congregation fails to do: Learn from his sermons. The church in my opinion is more intellectual than spiritual. end

Finally, an answer as to why "Christian" movies are so much worse than secular ones.

18:50 all the things Jacob has endured to get here, to wanting God's blessing

Rip Tim Kellor

I’m not a Calvinist or a fatalist so I think he’s only half right that you aren’t in charge of your own life

Grace, dignity, freedom. We were given these things.

Keller has surreptitiously replaced the gospel of Christ with the utopian ideology of Marx, and presented it as biblical truth.

SPEAKER: Vito Aiuto

what an endearing soul, will be very missed!

Oh how blessed we are to have you had shared this lesson. Now in God's loving arms, rest in glory Tim!

You guys are complicit in bringing forth various wokery-related kinds of evil (including defamation). Perpetuating/encouraging victim mentality is unbiblical; you've ignored Christ's FINISHED REDEMPTIVE WORK.

🔴The ideology, Amanchukwu said, perpetuates the notion that “all white people are racist from birth no matter what they do or say.” According to Amanchukwu, CRT leads to dangerous rhetoric because through “false cross-disciplinary examination,” it eliminates “the biblical truth which says when anyone, including white people, give their life to Jesus Christ they are a born again Christian, who can live lives free from certain sins, such as racism.” “Painting with a broad brush and saying ‘all whites are inherently racist;’ that’s so wrong. The issue with critical race theory is that even if a person chooses to give their life to Christ and get born again, since they are inherently racist, they are not able to remove themselves from their racism,” said Amanchukwu. Amanchukwu asserted that CRT “sees people as groups and not as individuals,” and said he believes “racism is not a color or skin tone,” but “racism is sin.” He referenced Romans 3:23, which reads that “all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” “Romans 3:23 is talking about sin in general. Sin in this verse deals with all kinds of sin including racism. It says ‘all;’ signifying all mankind, that even goes for blacks or Hispanics, for Pacific Islanders, for Asians or others and including whites, as well,” Amanchukwu explained. “Not only can whites be guilty of having a racist undertone and or a prejudice or bias towards other people, but other people groups can do the same thing and choose to.”🔴

Get back to the Bible, stop teaching trash in God's name, go be a motivational speaker.

Incredible

The delay on the screens is a trip.

I find this concept fascinating and as a Muslim, inline with the teachings of the Quran. Thanks!

I had a grandmother and great aunt that remind me of the women he's talking about. I'd also give anything to take them out one more night.

This is so powerful

Amen Amen and Amen!!

Who is this speaking?

Beside racist grift, this Indulges abuse, harm, crime, & violations but disregard those that suffer the injury & trauma. Awful distorted immorality.

Phenomenal ! Stevenson is a visionary !

This is great! Thanks, I needed!🙏

20:15 the issue of mandatory sentences is briefly touched upon. But it is does so oh so superficially. Bryan says that such laws are anti-mercy laws. Really? My knowledge of mandatory sentences is that they are a reaction to trivial or at least inadequate sentencing. For example (and admittedly hypothetical) a rapist that has been charged multiple times before is given a light sentence only to be released to re-offend. This is absolutely critical to get. We can't have mercy at the expense of some other victim. How for example in the above hypothetical, has mercy to the past and future rape victims been addressed. In fact, never-mind mercy in the case of these victims, they weren't even dealt with justly. One thing that I don't see Bryan ever address (and I read his book) is whose prerogative is it to give mercy? Again referring to the hypothetical above, let's say there are three people (or categories of people). There is the offender, the victim and me (the observer). How is it right that I should fight for so-called "mercy" to be shown to the offender and not say that at least a very large part of the mercy is for the victim to extend or withhold? It appears that for me to side with Bryan in an unexamined way is to be mindless. And it is cases such as this where the care of the victim and the realization that the very large part of mercy is in her hands, leads, when things go awry, to the pendulum swings in the other direction, such as in mandatory sentences. In my mind, it is nothing but sophistic jibberish to demand mercy. Mercy can only be granted by the wronged, and that only willingly.

God bless

Powerful!

Keller should publicly repent of his gross misuse of Scripture, disgraceful.

I watched " Just Mercy" and recently finished reading the Book and went through the EJI website then stumbled on this. Sir thank you so much for being such a breath of inspiration to me, all the way from South Africa. God Bless you brother.

AMO ERGO SVM ?

Tim Keller looked bored. Hope guilt eats him up!

Mr Keller knows more about mans books than he does about God's book, and especially about the Eternal Word in the Word of God, who created the complete Cosmos and Controls it but in His sovereign will he gave Eve and Adam a free will, and jn His sovereign power and providence He gave them in His sovereign Grace permission to partake of every herb and tree except one, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and warned them of His wrath if they used their free will to distrust and disobey their creators will , and in the original ethics of Eden, we are taught that neither Adam nor Eve contributed anything to their sinless state of standing as very good creatures, their perfect position and condition was unearned and unmerited , so their divorce from Eden and the Tree of Life, was entirely their decision and not their Creators, therefore the concept of risk is a myth because it is the rejection of God's clear revelation and a rebellion against the will of God in the word of God by the will of man, given to man in God's sovereign will

Thank you for your wonderful messages🥰God bless you ❤️🙏

I love Tim Keller's preaching. The only critique I have is, he seldom if ever gets to HOW. He ends with the SHOULD. I'd really like more HOW.

What is important to talk about according to churchy status quo? How about: conformity, rules, fitting in, bureaucracy, institutions,administration, credentialization, hierarchy, authority, privacy. Are these things Jesus would find conducive to his ministry?

Vito Aiuto speaking.

So basically he said take risk that is calculated wise and bold at the same time.

That was very helpful. Thank you.

Social justice is not the gospel of Jesus, but in fact is a false gospel. Social Justice is a Marxist atheist ideology

Jesus was not born prior to the creation of man.
