Tim Keller - Human Race: The Pursuit Of More?

Wonderful...

Ok, and true, but whew..
takes a lot of patience to listen to him get to the point!

I understand that he is speaking in a secular setting so, I think his talk is ok. Though, I wonder if Keller knows how to simply present the gospel in other environments where his listeners are not complex (?)

I've heard expository teachers of scripture incorporate his entire speech in a few sentences.

Is God's word so weak that one must present gobs of philosophy in order to placate 'sophistacated' listeners as well as giving place to Augustine.

I do say that Keller has had far more impact and character in his life than I can claim for myself!

These questions from the students are great. It's nice to see the rationale that arises from a more secular society. Hopefully we in the US aren't too far behind. So christianity and heaven boil down to being just a stand in for something to look forward to? This reminds me of someone who plays the lottery everyday. Who benefits in the lottery? Likewise, who benefits in the the christian story?

This man contradicts himself at every turn. And when asked why “I don’t feel God” he BLAMES the person asking. Such a cop out theologically.

Great sermon. I can’t believe THIS is the sermon I randomly clicked on. I’ve been valuing career success and women approval too much lately. Those things won’t even satisfy my deepest desire! Pray that God uses me to for his purposes

I love listening to Tim.

how do i like something more than once

Happiness comes & goes. Contentment & trusting Jesus is far more satisfying. Lower expectations, less is more. 🤷‍♀️🇦🇺

..so true that stuff doesn't create happiness- and if it does- very fleetingly, until u look for the next "it".........

Absolutely brilliant.

I needed to hear this today. Thank you Jesus.

“The ground of a certain rich man yielded an abundant harvest. 17 He thought to himself, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.’

18 “Then he said, ‘This is what I’ll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store my surplus grain. 19 And I’ll say to myself, “You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.”’

20 “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’

21 “This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.”

Ancient way: Supress the desires of your heart

Modern way: Indulge the desires of your heart

Biblical way: Re-order the desires of your heart

"Our heart is restless until it rests in You." - Augustine

I am so grateful for Tim. His skill and precision in talking to younger audiences was master class. Rest in peace my brother.

Well I just hope he's in the place where he was hoping to be after he croaked after dishing it out to us for so long. But I don't believe in an afterlife. He capitalized on the most Christian nation in the world. Forget the fireplace, he lived in a god damn luxury condo on Roosevelt Island surrounded by thousands of homeless New Yorkers.
