Tim Keller

"This is always the main way we get renewal in our lives.  God will not help you out of your obvious, visible problems (money problems, relationship problems, etc.) until you see the idols that we are worshiping right beside the Lord.  They have to be removed first....We are not to add anything to Jesus Christ as a requirement for being happy.  We are not to use God to get what we really want, but we are to see and make God that which we really want."
