Innovation3: Risk & Failure — Tim Keller
Here are some key points from Tim Keller out of Redeemer Presbyterian Church:
- “Everybody in the ministry, though we communicate that we are saved by grace and by God’s love, we essentially base our self-worth — our very salvation — on how our ministry is doing. Our hearts are contradicting our message.”
- “You have to go after God for blessing.”
- Jacob wrestled with God
- Jacob knew it was God
- Jacob realized that what he sought was not going to be given to him by his father or mother or wife
- It was God he held on to
- “You have to let Him lame you.”
- Humbling is a requirement
- We cannot sympathetically put ourselves into others’ lives
- We have to experience it personally
- Let us be willing to fail and learn from our failures
