Members of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City recounted how the late Rev. Tim Keller deeply influenced their view of God while managing to rise above politics.
Tim Keller, founder of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City, died May 19 after a three-year battle with pancreatic cancer., fanned out through the globe and helped to start more than 1,000 churches in more than 150 cities. He penned 31 books that sold more than 6 million copies and were translated into 29 languages, the bestselling of which were"The Reason for God" and"The Prodigal God.
Despite his breadth of knowledge, Van Singel said Keller's primary message was about Jesus and the grace of God, which she said resonated with her"because I'm a sinner, and I'm in need of grace." "It was just so different," she said of Keller's preaching."It was so much more about, ‘Yes, you’re a sinner, but you're so much more loved by God than you realize.'"
"To him, that was what people in power wanted us to do, but he put the brakes on and said, 'No, that's not where we want to be as Christians. That will tear us apart, and God wants us to be together.'""There was a sermon where he said, 'I am not going to preach on a certain side of the political realm, and I'm not going to pick sides,'" Van Singel remembered."He said, 'I'm just going to speak the truth.
