Gratitude for Tim Keller | John Ortberg

[@pattydonohue7822]

Thank you John for taking the time to acknowledge Tim Keller and his faithful walk with Jesus. Tim lived in our homes, cars, small groups, videos and we all feel a deep sense of loss with his passing. We’re grateful for the days we had Tim and also very grateful for the days He’s giving us you. May we remember with hope our future reunion with those who’ve gone before and Jesus being the reason our hope is sure.

A beautiful word on Tim Keller. Thank You brother John.

I heard your sermon at Saddleback church in Souuthern California during my difficult times. It was a comfort. Thank you for your belief and humor. Churches should grow together with science and technology for the sake of the future generations. The world is expanding at an exponential growth. It is amazing that humans created so much in 150 years and with the AI, robots, and EVs, it is a wonder why people are depressed. America is struggling with "wokeness" culture.

Keller’s prodigal God book changed my life and view of others and myself. And the disciplines..and others!! Thank you for comfort today. 😢

Thank you John. So thankful for Tim Keller and for how he and Kathy served the Lord Jesus. Pleased to find your video. We are sad yet joyful as we mourn. Great anticipation and sure hope that we'll be reunited with those saints who have gone on ahead of us.( I was interested to hear about Jim Brown). Thank you for reading the passage from Tim's book. He could explain profound truth in such thoughtful and accessible ways. He could also address the most difficult subjects. "Now Tim knows,... Dallas knows!" Thanks again! Greetings from Australia.

Tim was indeed one of the most lucid writers and speakers of this age. What a faithful obedient servant of God. How beautiful are the feet of them that bring Good News. He will will have beautiful heavenly feet!

Thank God for him!! Taught me soooo much!!!❤️

[@jbLR218]

What a wonderful blessing it is that God chooses to work in and through us humans to reveal the truth of who He is....rather than God just arranging some other way and not letting us get involved. The beauty of His way is that we get to know Him yet also be touched, inspired, and influenced by Greats like Tim, Dallas, John, etc. How is it possible to love someone without having ever met them? So mysterious yet it is undeniably true. I feel like if someone ministers to and impacts your soul so deeply it is impossible to not love them. I'm just so thankful for the Greats and the average Joe's and Jane's like me....and that God wants each of us to be part of his glorious plan! 😁😁❤❤

Thanks John... Tim Keller, like you, was one of the million. It's fitting that you should give this tribute for those of us who are grieving our loss, let us celebrate Tim's victory.

So grateful for you John! Thank you for you pastoral heart . Keep feeding us little sheep with the good nutrient dense food of Gods good word. So enjoy learning and being encouraged from you👍

[@24skhoward]

I read Tim Kelley’s The Reason for God suggested by a friend. This has been an important cog in my being and my journey with Christ. As is Pastor John. Blessed❤

[@PAS_2020]

Received this news from South America on Friday. Tim Keller, was known throughout the world.

[@terriwerning3477]

A beautiful tribute to Tim Keller and so beautifully brought around to Jesus who is attracted to messed up people🙋‍♀️.

[@davidrivera2165]

Tim, a wonderful Christian thinker. He finished the race, He fought the good fight. Rejoice Church! Our brother Tim was just welcomed by our LORD with the most desired greeting any follower of Christ would want to hear."Well done my good and faithful servant, you have been faithful over a little....Enter the Joy of your MASTER'.

[@corkyfoley798]

Thanks John for your words of tribute to Tim Keller. A few years ago we lost our pastor to esophageal cancer and his last months with us were so powerful. His words of “looking forward to his best day ever” left a lasting impact on all who knew him. Praise God for that eternal hope!

[@revannekh]

Thank you, John and Tim. Keller has been such an important influence on my ministry, and I am so sad he is no longer with us here. His book, on walking with God in pain and suffering is so excellent and helpful. Tim and his wife showed up at my local Paneras some years ago, and I wish I had had the courage to approach them.

[@paulkick7870]

Thanks for sharing your fine perspective on a great Christ follower, thinker, and man who shared his insights with the world.

[@dalenagel83]

I am a month behind in this series, but the timing could not be more perfect. I am in search of a new beginning after a career spanning decades has ended. Thanks for all you do, John! You’re adding hope and light to dark places.

RIP Tim Keller

Friends, feel free to share in the comments your own words of gratitude for the life and ministry of Timothy Keller. blessings -tim

[@dynamicserenitygroupwestll1849]

So we ponder, did our Abba Father call this saint home because his purpose was complete, or because the Lord desired Tim at His feet, one we, even we, shall know. We are confident that He who started a good work in you will continue it until the day of Christ. Come soon Lord, but when all the purpose of your own has been done. In Christ, Amen and Amen.
