Uncovering Satisfaction - Tim Keller - UNCOVER

[@booksie1]

Tim Keller explains Christianity in a way that really talks directly to me. If, if I had found this brother 20 years ago I would have never left the church. 20 years ago I had a major crisis of faith and of life: my biggest question was what is the point? I’ve been struggling with this question ever since until recently. Tim is helping me see that Jesus Christ really is the way. God bless you and your family Tim.

You don't have to go to the church building to follow Jesus Christ 🙏🏼🛐💯

[@eradutiu]

@@elainemaldonado2932 not sure where your comment comes from but we are told not to forsake the gathering of God’s people, meaning church since we are the church. We are all broken, with different areas of brokenness. We all hurt someone at one point in life unintentionally and we don’t know what that costs someone for we are not God to see it. Seek humility and the body of Christ! God uses each other to sharpen us.

[@whoopshoopadoop8900]

That is 100% true. But God does want us to assemble and maintain a community and to feed the church financially (tithes)

[@elainemaldonado2932]

[@elainemaldonado2932]

this is the kind of message to listen to over and over. What a gift Tim Keller is!

[@SharonWeston]

Pray for his wife and family who lost him recently. And to raise up pastors that follow in his great footsteps and KNOW the culture, and learn from Tim's and others works! Don't go it alone! Surround yourself and LEARN from the BEST! World standards of QUALITY are high, it should be even MORE so for Christians who work for GOD first!! ❤

Great message. Soloman had a great message about "chasing after the wind"

But you can find great satisfaction in many things- but maybe that only comes once you know that God is in control and loves you- I get enjoyment from the simplest of things........

Tim Keller, excellent as always. Keeping him & his ministry lifted up to our Father through our Precious Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ. Who died & rose again to save us from our sins.. one plants & another waters, but it is always God Who gives the increase. Praying for the harvest of all the seeds planted, may the Lord protect them fm the evil one & may they be refreshed by those who are His & have been born again. Greatest thanks to Tim Keller & his faithfulness to the Lord as he bravely sets an example of going out into the world to preach the gospel and to be as Paul was.. “all things to all men, that some might be saved.” Glory to God in the Highest.. the giver of every good and perfect gift - which we can see exhibited and exercised by Keller himself. No one takes a lamp & hides it under a blanket.. let your light so shine before men. All glory to God for it is only through God & by God, that all things were created and continue to exist. Colossians 1. ❤️ Keller has an excellent way of connecting to certain audiences.. praying the Lord will give the increase. In Jesus name!

that last question , no other religion offers the Holy Spirit except for Christianity

[@abelieversperspective9595]

I admire Tim Keller greatly. And while I agree with his major thesis here, I must take issue with his occasion to use the subject of suicide as a vehicle to make his point about the ultimate vanity of life, a point that can be made in many other equally effective ways, but ways that aren't nearly as irresponsible. Suicide is a very prevalent occurrence, but this fact is obfuscated by the cultural shame it engenders in the survivors and in the societies who collectively prefer to pretend that it isn't happening, or that it isn't happening to the degree that it really is. For example, in America, gun related death is a well known phenomenon, and this is a fact people from around the world are aware. But few people seem to realize that roughly 65% of those deaths are suicides. America is a very big place which makes the numbers seem huge. And yet suicide happens in every country, and it is a leading cause of death in all of them. So, to casually mention it - and suggest that our loving savior chuckles with delight when we contemplate such a thing is in my estimation a profoundly offensive statement, regardless of how closely parallel the analogy is to any abstract theological ideations. Further, making comments like this in public is extremely dangerous because the mere suggestion of suicide can trigger suicidal acts in certain circumstances, such as when uttered by a perceived authority figure and overheard by a vulnerable and unstable individual. Making a theological point is simply not worth the risk. The risk is very real, and the cost is far too high. And if anyone refuses to count the cost whenever he builds anything, then eventually his construction will come tumbling down. Please try to be more careful next time Mr. Keller..

[@jkk45]

Someone forgot to ask the most important question: 'where does Tim Keller get his hair cut'?

[@nardussaayman1962]

This is terrifying. If what he says is true you have to dethrone everything else in your life. This is not just an opinion or viewpoint, the stakes are far to high. Either you agree and enter a state of profound loss of earthly divinity, or you brush it off as interesting.

[@benjousan8470]

Bernardus Saayman -It is terrifying if there's no solution. Meaninglessness is scary. I would recommend listening to his sermon "War Between Your Selves", the first part, if you are interested in some more ideas about this.

[@benjousan8470]

Bernardus Saayman Also, what is "earthly divinity"? As in Earth *is* "God"..? Just trying to understand what exactly you mean there.

[@mixmaxer1162]

I think you need to take one step at a time. This isn’t an entrance exam for happiness. Firstly, it’s finding meaning and a true relationship with your maker. A profound commitment to Following God. That’s the foundation upon which you then can reorder your loves/priorities in life.

Hello!

John 6:26-29 [26]Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled. [27]Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed. [28]Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? [29]Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

[@grantbartley483]

He says we can't live without them, but as JS Mill might say, the majority of the human race have had to live without some or all of meaning, satisfaction etc for all of history. It might be better to say that these are the things necessary for existence to be well experienced.

[@grantbartley483]

@@bo.b-o I suppose I agree with you. I am a Christian, but that itself hasn't made me happy in this life. It has cut the edge off of my existential nihilism though (I no longer think 'nothing means anything') and gives me the possibility of hope, so definitely an improvement.

[@lorideeley]

is he "all-loving" as some would say? He does hate some things. e.g., pride etc...

[@RK-dk5vt]

The Bible doesn't provide hate as the counter to love, that is actually fear. God does hate (evil), but does not fear. Take a look at 1 John 4:18

[@eddie0009]

Haha, good one. Kinda philosophical. Pride is selfish, therefore anti-love. Love hates pride. God is love by nature. Love flows out from His nature into creation. But not human distortion of love. The true and pure love is from His very nature. We wouldn't know love, apart from Him.

[@badgerfactory]

God is Not all loving. The definition of love is giving another what they need as far as it’s possible within freewill. You need to suffer to break free of selfishness. Hell is the place for those who don’t want to be with God AND to act like God: unselfish. You hate God. And love your false idea of who god is

[@jesus.christis.lord.foreve899]

Value achievement produces a feeling of happiness IF rational values are achieves via one's virtues, with integrity (loyalty to the truth). The older we get, the more that sense of happiness-eudaemonia-grows and refines itself, through adversity, failure, success and ultimately, getting wiser and better at living life. This guy is selling you the WRONG idea. His pitch to the moral relativist nihilists is that we can never actually be satisfied, and/or happy. Well, he is right about satisfaction. MAN is a value achiever. He is never satisfied since he's always in the process of setting new goals and pursuing them. True enlightenment and happiness IS possible to man on this earth. Read Mortimer Adler's Six Great Ideas and other Aristotelian philosophers.
