My favourite Tim Keller memory: 15 years ago, at a preaching conference in London, I ask a question so confused he doesn’t know how to answer. Then it’s coffee. Awkward, right? But as everyone gets up, he points to me and beckons me over. “I want to understand…” he said.

That’s my favourite memory. I was a young curate from a small town in Sussex. “I want to understand” should have been my line to him (and it was). But without any pretence and with a studied curiosity, “I want to understand” was his line to me. He spent all coffee time with me.

It’s trending but what does it mean that “Jesus is the Son of God”? It means what you see in Jesus is what you get with God. He is exactly like his Father. Which means God is One who stoops, serves, suffers, bleeds and dies for you. To believe this changes everything.

In the creed we say Christ is "of one being with the Father". It sounds so technical, actually it has the deepest pastoral significance. It obliterates any idea that behind merciful Jesus lies a dark 'God'. No, the arms-wide love of Christ crucified IS the arms-wide love of God.

Unusually for me I've been quiet (publicly anyway) in the last 8 days about the Jonathan Fletcher abuse and about William Taylor's St Helen's announcements. This letter, written with @SamAllberry , explains why. If you know any of these names please read:

DEAR WILLIAM TAYLOR — soul∙in∙formation

If you believe in human rights you don't need a 'leap of faith' in order to believe in Jesus. You've already taken an almighty leap. What you need is some ground beneath your feet. Let me suggest Jesus.

I’ve watched about a dozen “Christian v Atheist” debates since my Unbelievable one aired. (Yes, since. I don’t know. Call it reverse preparation.) My big takeaway is that arguing for the truth of something without also commending its goodness and beauty is fruitless.

Imagine a couple who say "We don't need date nights — we're married 24-7." That's what I picture when I hear someone say: "Worship is all of life". If that's your foundational thinking about worship, I fear that both your worship and your "all of life" will suffer.

“Christianity is so radical. Paul says to the male householder: "You are playing the role of Christ, your wife is playing the role of the church. That's why you must have a monogamous, enduring relationship.” That’s the transformation that Christianity brings to sexual ethics.”

“I wish I had your faith” is an incomplete sentence. It should be “I wish I had your faith in Jesus”. As soon as you finish the sentence you realise the problem. You don’t need my faith. You need my Jesus.

About to drop my interview with @holland_tom . Get a load of some of these pearls... "The idea that human rights hangs in the ether waiting to be discovered is as theological as believing that Jesus Christ rose from the dead and sits at the right hand of the Father."

I was very reluctant to go on Unbelievable and speak about these horrors. In the end I appeared on the condition that Diane Langberg come on. I am Very glad she agreed, she's amazing. So, if you can put up with me, consider it the price for hearing her.

I felt bad about my sin this morning but then this afternoon I got self-righteous about someone else’s. Like a thirsty man drinking gravy. Would 0/10 recommend.

Silent prayer outside an abortion clinic receives this police response👇. In the context of other protests this month, how on earth can we make sense of this? 🧵

8. Mysticism. Tim Keller loved Jesus and he wanted us to love Jesus. He prayed for revival and he wanted us to pray. He enjoyed his sonship before the Father and he wanted us relishing the same. And now he's "face to face". May many follow in his footsteps.
