I think that Tim Keller is amazing BUT these little short interviews do not do him justice. The best 10 minute clip on utube is his discussion on happiness. That is life changing. Instead of allowing utube to define his message with short clips, he should seize the opportunity to make use of this ministry tool! In context everything he says makes sense and is pointing the world towards Christ. That is a Pastor's main job.
I agree with brother Tim, we definitely need to cut down on the political campaigning to change legislation and start reaching out in our communities. The Gospel, is more intimate than political reform...
Part of the problem with the question about "the Church's" stance on politics is that Christianity in the US is very different than Christianity in European nations. For example, the Church in England is a denomination that has an opinion. Here there is no organizational unity within "the Church" and so to refer to "the Church's" stance on politics will inevitably paint with strokes that are far too broad. Also, this was poorly edited. It seemed like they cut Keller off almost mid sentence several times. I would love to have heard more.
@ytrexm Were you saying that you hate softball questions? If so I agree, they don't get anybody anywhere and waste our time. Or that this interview was softball questions? If so please explain. Thanks
Some here are asking why the church would do better to keep religion out of politics. I'm not sure if it's entirely possible to divorce religion from politics but I think there would be less push back from the "left" if the church spent less time demonizing those who they disagree with, get over their fixation with what goes on in their neighbor's bedroom,and put the emphasis where Jesus did: the poor, the disenfranchised, the downtrodden...putting others first. All that good stuff. People were drawn to Christ because he loved them. They responded to his challenges as well because, again, he loved them.
I agree with you but the problem is that the people who demonize are exactly that "Religious" A real Christ follower should not be doing this but always being a peace maker, sadly the "Religious" are who have the most to say and the least to do.

Deeds and faith go hand in hand, but faith must come first. Faith without works is dead, still “saves” but does not evangelize. Works without faith are not salvific.

@womanwonder10 Sounds like it mght matter more to you than me, since YOU asked me if it mattered. Is it that unusual to ask a simple question, which I did (no judgement involved)? Guess it's now politically incorrect to ask anything, huh? BTW, thank you.
sarah farrar I think it is good to listen to both Keller and Zacharias. Both are rather intellectual but Keller has more of that "pastoral" experience so his "flavor" of a sense is a little different but both have value.
Miss you deeply Pastor Timothy Keller! God blessed us to have you in our times!!
I thank God For Him

what a great man !!
Ah. Great advice. Both are wonderful teachers of God's word!
Wow, this was very good.
I agree with brother Tim, we definitely need to cut down on the political campaigning to change legislation and start reaching out in our communities. The Gospel, is more intimate than political reform...
And this is why Tim Keller is the best!
I really like him :)
Would have liked to have seen more pointed questions as well, only so people could see how enlightened Tim Keller is, he's amazing.
Fantastic!
love it
I'm a Catholic, but I really enjoy listening to Tim Keller.
I'm Protestant, but I really enjoy listening to Bishop Barron :)
@@amacnaughton85 Me too. ☺
I like how he acknowledges that being a Christian will almost necessarily entail less success in the eyes of the world.
The Church needs to speak out MORE...especially regarding the murder of babies who are in their mothers' wombs.

I am a big fan of Tim Keller.
Unwise. Christ is our goal.
Social justice and speaking truth to power is the job of the church, we must be involved in politics but avoid party politics
He's awesome! xD
That insight about the president thing is very accurate (e.g., #NotMyPresident). And this was 5 years ago...
He's great I admit. Check out Ravi Zacharias as well.
I understand where you're coming from but there is a time and place to contend for the faith.
I recommend to you Timothy Keller’s “The Reason for God”, it’s an eye opening book that I can’t use to reply to this comment bc I cannot do it justice

The Church MUST continue to speak out against evil. Even if it is politically oriented evil. Like abortion.
Western christianity? Verses Christian's in eastern countries?
Me too loll! :D

Girt Froab It also seems to be that the religious are famous for making it clear what they're against and rarely what they're for.
Girt Froab ...and, geez, everyone already KNOWS what they're against. Speaking out against something is easy. Loving people is hard.
True my friend!
Privatize? Can you clarify that? I'm not sure where you're drawing the line.
@womanwonder10 His church is Presbyterian. Beyond that, does it really matter?
Is this man Lutheran or Presbyterian? I've heard both!
Baptist
