Public Address by Keller

More emails on Tim Keller's teaching...

Dear Dwayna,

I found the public address by Tim Keller...It was given at the 5 year anniversary of 9/11. You may have read it before. If not, this is the link.

In it, he says that people will have everything sad restored to them at the time of the resurrection and a new earth. It does seem to be a false statement since Keller was addressing many people of different faiths, and he never gave a clear Gospel message. He gave them a false hope.

I just reread Tim Challies' book review (Challies.com) on The Reason for God and was looking at the comments and noticed that there is a new comment for the month of October from someone who is reading the book for the first time for a group Bible study. He mentions things in the book and states they are not biblical. I haven't read the book, but I will look at the pages he mentions...How I came to read Keller's book, Ministries of Mercy, is that the pastor asked my church to read it. Otherwise, I would never have heard of him, and I would never have come across your web site plus many others. It has been a learning experience.
