Grace Explains Imperfect Christians
- Tim Keller explains Christianity saves by grace, so believers often enter faith admitting failure rather than moral achievement.
- That admission means many Christians are imperfect yet still genuine, producing visible immaturity without excusing it.
Early Church Against Slavery
- Keller cites Basil and other Cappadocian Fathers who argued slavery contradicts the image of God and is always wrong.
- These early Christians began articulating proto-human-rights ideas centuries before modern doctrines emerged.
Avoid Idolizing Political Parties
- Keller warns Christians should not make one political party into an idol and must evaluate policies by Scripture, not party loyalty.
- He advises criticizing the church by its own standards while avoiding blanket political alignment as Christian duty.
