Fox News
In Manhattan on Tuesday evening, August 15, 2023, Dr. Tim Keller, the pastor and writer who died in May, was memoralized and honored by thousands of faithful friends and family.
For 28 years, Dr. Timothy Keller was senior pastor at Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York, a congregation he founded in 1989. His goal was to transform the city and bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to a metropolis that the rest of the world may have thought was more of a den of iniquity, spiritually speaking, than a city ready for a revival. Keller's brand of teaching and preaching taught thousands if not millions to make faith a personal relationship with Christ. Tim Keller remained humble and always put the focus on serving others. "You haven't been tested ... until you get in a situation in which your wisdom contradicts God's wisdom." — Dr. Tim Keller Lauren Green currently serves as Fox News Channel's (FNC) chief religion correspondent based in the New York bureau. She joined FNC in 1996. Her new book is "Lighthouse Faith: God as a Living Reality in a World Immersed in Fog." She is host of Fox News Digital's "Spirited Debate."
But Keller lived by the mantra that God loves cities, because in cities, especially New York, a plethora of God's image bearers reside. Every color, creed, age, shape and size live here. It's a land ripe for planting seeds of faith.
