The call to take up your cross & follow Jesus isn’t about asceticism for its own sake. It’s about learning to love the reward more than you fear the cost. In Christ we gain much more than we lose.

“I love you, America, but not like that…On the Fourth of July I cannot worship you with the liturgies of civil religion, but I’ll gladly eat a hotdog in honor of your birthday and listen to some Johnny Cash.

When Keller died, it felt like Protestantism lost a stabilizing voice. Russ brings so much of what I miss from TK.

Question from Henri Nouwen that are good spiritual practice:
Did I offer peace today?
Did I bring a smile to someone's face? Did I say words of healing?
Did I let go of my anger and resentment?
Did I forgive?
Did I love?
These are the real questions.

We’re in a series on idolatry at church. An idol drAws you to itself… and ultimately disappoints. An icon points to something greater that truly satisfies. Keller was an icon - a representative, pointing us all to Jesus.
I keep a copy in my backpack and read it every time I go on a backpacking trip.
Probably my favorite thing Tim wrote: amazon.com/Freedom-Self-Forg…
I’ve been trying to place why I’m so emotional about the death of someone I’ve never met… while sadness is part of it… I think I’m deeply moved by the beauty of his life. He lived and died so well. I can’t help but cry thinking about it. What a gift he is to the world.
A High School teacher of mine gave me the Reason For God. I didn’t touch it… until college when I walked away from my faith. It was one of the first books God used to bring me back to His heart. I’ve since read nearly everything Keller has written. RIP Tim.
Wifey is away on a 5 day girls trip for Mother’s Day. Thank God for neighbors who know that and bring you a plate from the cookout.
Served my parents communion for the first time this morning… It’s hard to describe how special it was.
Reminding them of the same Gospel they spoke over me as they raised me.
A Gospel legacy is a circle. It comes back around.
Man, @natebargatze bit about his youngest sister being a bad influence on his parents is just perfect.
They weren’t carried to the garden to see an empty tomb.
They came while it was still dark, of their own accord, to honor their Savior whom they believed to be dead.
Disappointed and full of grief.
They still went.
