The best of Tim Keller on twitter

One great twitter feature is the ability to use tools such as twitter search and TweetDeck to keep an eye on tweets containing certain phrases.  I thought I’d start a search on Tim Keller and here are the top twitter Tim Keller quotes I found (after trawling through a lot of retweets!).  I hope you enjoy them.

• jaredpete When talking about difference btw legalism and gospel: “Jesus didn’t tithe his blood.”
• timmybrister “God’s immanence makes his transcendence comforting; his transcendence makes his immanence amazing. The gospel leads us in both.“
