Immensely thankful for Tim Keller’s life.

Timothy J. Keller, husband, father, grandfather, mentor, friend, pastor, and scholar died this morning at home. Dad waited until he was alone with Mom. She kissed him on the forehead and he breathed his last breath. We take comfort in some of his last words...

What a gift he was to the church. He finished well and I praise God for his life.

When on vacation, one of our joys is finding a random church. Took the bus downtown Cancún, first church we found preached the Gospel. Iglesia el Rey de Reyes. Good to be with the saints.

Ancient baptismal pool in old Grenoble. Dating back to the 400’s, used for immersion of adult converts (c‘mon Baptists!), later changed into a sprinkler. It wasn’t until the 500’s that they began to sprinkle younger children (babies?). A little French Christian history for ya

Gospel ambition is good. But this is one of the best cautions to church planters I’ve ever heard, from @PaulWasher. 🔥
