I suspect, if the Holy Spirit blesses us with another awakening, our churches will look more like what Tim Keller envisioned—where grace will once more find a way through the tangles of intolerant secularism and tribalistic religion.

Tim Keller Practiced the Grace He Preached

In an increasingly divisive world, the pastor theologian’s legacy was walking the higher road—the one less traveled.
