New Canaan Society is a movement of men that believes in "Friendship with Jesus and Friendship with One Another." No man is meant to go it alone. This is to be a shared journey of honesty, vulnerability, and freedom. New Canaan Society operates in over 50 U.S. markets.
The bible says it the love of Christ that brings repentance. Most believers do not know the depth of His love. When you love someone generally you do not want to displease them.
Before the throne of God above I have a strong and perfect plea A great High Priest whose name is love Who ever lives and pleads for me My name is graven on His hands My name is written on His heart I know that while in heav'n He stands No tongue can bid me thence depart No tongue can bid me thence depart When Satan tempts me to despair And tells me of the guilt within Upward I look and see Him there Who made an end to all my sin Because the sinless Savior died My sinful soul is counted free For God the Just is satisfied To look on Him and pardon me To look on Him and pardon me Behold Him there, the risen Lamb My perfect, spotless Righteousness The great unchangeable I Am The King of glory and of grace One with Himself, I cannot die My soul is purchased by His blood My life is hid with Christ on high With Christ my Savior and my God One with Himself, I cannot die My soul is purchased by His blood My life is hid with Christ on high With Christ my Savior and my God With Christ my Savior and my God
THANK YOU PASTOR TIM KELLER FOR THIS SERMON AND HELP ME A LOT, APPRECIATE IT. AND I TRY TO AVOID READING OTHER COMMENTS ESPECIALLY THE ONE WHO THINK THEY ARE VERY SMART BEHIND THE KEYBOARD AND KNOW BETTER, WHICH IN MY OPINION THEY DON'T SO I RATHER ENJOY THIS SERMON AND LEARN FROM PASTOR KELLER. THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO.
You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. It shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be your slave. (Matthew 20:25-27 ESV)
He makes some good points. Mainly we do need to get rid of the root and really repent deeply and find our identity in Jesus. However there are a few things I think that should be looked at and thought about. 1 The disciples did not rejoice that the demons were subject to their name but to Jesus’ name. Yet he did make a good point about not finding our salvation in those. 2 however the demons kept being subject to the authority of Jesus’ name. That never changed. 3. It seems unfair for a wife to say “do you love me?” And just expect I love you because I love you. Honestly did she pick the guy just because she loves him for no reason? No. They picked each other for certain reasons. However in God’s love we stay committed to their value in Christ. They are made in God’s image and even if they change and start treating us wrong we are still called to love them for their sake.
The Lord Jesus Christ used this very cultural reality in my life. I was born into a non christian Euro-Americana humanist style family. For as long as I can remember I believed. As I grew up, I knew it was Christ & I moved towards & in Him. I went against family and culture to assertively live & follow Christ, my Lord & Savior. Then as an educated adult I continued to live in and for Christ. Against the 90's & 2000's american culture I chose to assertively stay home & raise my sons. I find my identity in Christ Jesus. Sadly, there was a(an unimportant to these comments) personal cost to these choices but I follow & live for my Lord Jesus Christ. In Him and for Him. With a grateful heart & spirit & soul. The Lord uses all things for the good of those called to His purposes & those who follow, obey Him. All Praise & Glories to Christ Jesus. Son of Man, The Son of God.
True, feeling sorry about your sin because of the consequences and repenting your sin because you are being convicted by the Holy Spirit aren't the same.
Wonderful and amen! Our citizenship is in heaven (Philippians 3:20) and we are building here with a view to a city whose architect and builder is God (Hebrews 11:10).
Identity - a stable self understanding, who am I really. Self-regard - how do I feel about that? In ancient society how well you played the role in your family/community was the basis of your identity. It was about self sacrifice, doing things for the greater good. Modern society tells the opposite, to do what you like, follow your heart, and strive to achieve it, no matter what anybody tells you. Only you can determine what is right/wrong for you. Expressive individualism - Let It Go song But this has a FLAW - "What is my deepest desire?" what makes you think your desires are in harmony. "You are a being whose wants make no sense". Your desires contradict, so which are you going to choose? A career or a relationship? They're also unstable. If we were to think that we shouldn't care about what others say, we should decide what is right for ourselves, only then we can be happy. But this is also wrong and what we think is RIGHT is based on what the society TELLS us. eg Aggression v/s Sexual desires. Historically aggression was said to be good, and sexual desires were shunned. Now it's opposite, you'd take anger management classes if you had anger issues, but would accept all your sexual desires because society tells you that's who you are. You are not looking into your heart and just being yourself, you're doing what your culture tell you. You can't bless yourself, you can't validate yourself Praise of the praiseworthy is above all rewards. We all need somebody that you respect and adore to the skies, respecting and affirming you, and only then will you start to get a stable identity and a positive self-regard. The modern approach tells us to achieve our dreams, it attaches our identity to work, to money. And it gets to your head, if you've earned money, it makes you think that you're more able and wise than you actually are. And if you haven't made a lot of money, it crushes you, you're a failure. We live in a time where people don't believe in sin, they don't believe in hell, they don't believe in judgement, and yet people walk around with a sense of condemnation that they can't shake. Calling them fools, cowards, not living up. "We find ourselves to be sinful but quite independent of guilt."
How can we really know God loves us if He simply allows us to continue living much the same as we did before we bowed low before Him at the Cross? In other words, how can God really be loving apart from His Holiness and Grace that makes us loving (willingness to go to any length to cleanse us apart from His Spirit’s Power that enables us to both choose and live freely). “LORD Jesus, we’re such a glorious mess …please help us both reckon with the sinfulness of our sin & lavishness of Your Free Grace, and then truly Glorify You by walking in Victory! In Your Mighty Name, we pray. Amen!”
Listening to Keller is about the same as listening to someone trying explain Buddhism. Both make no sense to me. I do understand John MacArthur though 100 percent. I don’t understand the rampant infatuation with Tim Keller. I’m sorry he’s departed to Jesus bosom but I won’t be missing his next unpreached sermon or unpublished book. See you soon.

This is so incredibly good. What mercy to trade our fifth for his glory, our sin for his righteousness. Thank you Jesus. Help us to know this more than anything
Jesus is the only one who can get the stain out! Lord pour out your Spirits on those seeking to know you and fill them with desire to love you more than for what you do.
I love Tim Keller's apologetics. His thought patterns are wonderfully geared towards modern day agnostics and he was wonderfully gifted by the Holy Spirit.
David prayed Show me if there are hidden sins in me. He did not want to sin against the Father.. I'm sorry Father I'm a sinner saved by Your Grace alone! Help me I need You every minute
