All Life Change (Keller)
Thursday 27 December 2007 at 09:22 am"All life change is substitutionary sacrifice." This is one of Tim Keller's repeated themes. He spends a good deal of the sermon "The Meaning of His Death" from January 14, 2007. The text is Mark 10:32-45. He hits a lot of the themes connected with this too. Also hits Jeremiah 29 and touches on the the meaning of "the sword" a bit in terms of dealing with others: service not sword. "The influence that comes from power and control is always superficial, it doesn't really change hearts..."
Also "Happiness 101". When you chose things to do that give you pleasure you get on the hedonistic treadmill. Selfish acts of kindness, however, lead to happiness. But if these acts are done out of duty or a self-manipulative attempt to get happiness it doesn't work. Gratitude can't be faked.

Monday 24 December 2007 at 1:53 pm 1. God and history.a. If God is maximally good, if God is maximally just, if God is maximally powerful (we profess and assume these three things to be true) then at the consummation all that has happened, all the work that God has done will be justified, seen to be well, good, glorious, amazing, beautiful, splendid, full of peace and joy. This should give us enormous comfort. If any of the above things are not true, such as there is no such being, or a maximally powerful being is neither just nor good then frankly there is no point to anything or any effort because we are all in such deep trouble that nothing on our part will change anything. more...
