On the evening of February 11, 2006, a severe winter storm arrived in New York City. By four in the afternoon the next day, nearly twenty-seven inches of snow had fallen in Central Park, surpassing the record that had been set in 1947. That night, as many streets in the city remained impassable, I trudged to a church building on Manhattan’s Upper West Side and found six hundred or so people, mostly young professionals, squeezed into the pews. They had come to listen to a Presbyterian minister named Timothy J. Keller preach his fourth sermon of the day. I was there, as a religion reporter for the Times, to observe perhaps the most gifted communicator of historically orthodox Christian teachings in the country.
Keller had glasses and a bald pate and wore a dark blazer and a red tie. He stood well over six feet tall. The stage made him appear even more imposing, particularly when he raised his hand high to make a point, but his mannerisms and tone were that of an English professor. With a sheaf of notes on a music stand, he preached a thoughtful disquisition on Jesus’ healing of a paralyzed man, drawing on readings from C. S. Lewis, the Village Voice, and the George MacDonald fairy tale “The Princess and the Goblin.”
Keller, who died, of pancreatic cancer, on Friday, at the age of seventy-two, had a résumé that resembled that of perhaps no other Christian minister in America. In 1989, he and his wife founded Redeemer Presbyterian Church in the heavily secular milieu of Manhattan. By the time he stepped down, in 2017, Redeemer had more than five thousand worshippers across multiple services every Sunday, making it one of the largest Protestant churches in New York City. Keller also was a best-selling author, publishing more than twenty books, including 2008’s “The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism,” and writing regularly for major publications such as the Times, The Atlantic, and this magazine. He was a frequent guest on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe”—the co-host Joe Scarborough and his family attended Redeemer—and was friendly with a remarkably broad cross-section of influential figures in media and politics, including the Times columnist David Brooks; The Atlantic’s former majority owner, David Bradley; Francis Collins, the former head of the National Institutes of Health; the actress Patricia Heaton, of “Everybody Loves Raymond”; and even Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama. (President Bush issued a statement on Friday, in which he said he was “one of many who is blessed to have learned from Dr. Keller’s teachings and benefited from his compassion.”)
On the weekend after the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001, more than five thousand people showed up for Sunday services at Redeemer. At one service where people had to be turned away, Keller quickly decided to convene another, and hundreds returned. The traumatic moment for the city turned out to be a pivotal one for Redeemer’s growth, as its attendance remained elevated in the weeks and months afterward. On the fifth anniversary of the attack, White House officials asked Keller to deliver a sermon at an ecumenical service at St. Paul’s Chapel, in lower Manhattan, for the families of the victims. In 2011, President Obama invited Keller to the White House to speak at the Easter prayer breakfast.
In “Timothy Keller: His Spiritual and Intellectual Formation,” a biography published earlier this year, the author Collin Hansen sketches Keller’s unusual path to ministry success. Keller was born in Allentown, Pennsylvania, on September 23, 1950. His father, Bill, was a retail executive; his mother, Louise, reared Tim and his two siblings mostly on her own. The family attended a Lutheran church, and Tim, the eldest child, was bookish and socially awkward. He enrolled at Bucknell University, where he studied religion, but it was his involvement with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, the evangelical campus organization, that propelled his interest in the ministry. He went on to attend Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, in Massachusetts, and, in 1975, moved with his wife, Kathy, to Hopewell, Virginia, a faded factory town once known as the “chemical capital of the South.” Keller led a small blue-collar church in Hopewell for nine years, before becoming a professor at Westminster Theological Seminary, in Glenside, Pennsylvania.
In the late nineteen-eighties, officials with the Presbyterian Church in America, a relatively young denomination based in a suburb of Atlanta, began searching for a pastor to start a congregation in Manhattan. When they offered the position to Keller, he initially turned them down. Only after two other candidates also declined did he agree to take the job. His limited preaching experience, in a small-town church in the Bible Belt, made him an unlikely fit for New York City. Within three years of its founding, however, Redeemer had swelled from fifty people to a thousand. By the mid-aughts, it had become a beacon, around the world, for pastors interested in ministering to cosmopolitan audiences. Unlike many suburban megachurches, with their soft-rock praise bands and user-friendly sermons, Redeemer’s services were almost defiantly staid, featuring traditional hymns and liturgy. But the sermons were wry and erudite, filled with literary allusions and philosophical references, and Keller was shrewd about urging his congregants to examine their “counterfeit gods”—their pursuit of totems like power, status, and wealth, which the city encouraged. Hansen depicts Keller as a voracious reader, constantly on the lookout for source material, whether it was from the Anglican minister John Stott, the existentialist philosopher Søren Kierkegaard, or the urbanist thinker Jane Jacobs. “Keller’s originality comes in his synthesis, how he pulls the sources together for unexpected insights,” Hansen writes. “Having one hero would be derivative; having one hundred heroes means you’ve drunk deeply by scouring the world for the purest wells.”
Shortly after I wrote the article about Keller for the Times, I began regularly attending his church. Over the years, we became friends, and I would consult him from time to time while reporting on religion. In December, 2017, Keller wrote an essay for The New Yorker, in which he lamented the state of the evangelical movement in the Trump era. He had long eschewed the “evangelical” label because of its partisan implications, making a point of avoiding controversial political topics on the pulpit. In his essay, Keller explained that he had come of age in the early seventies, when “the word ‘evangelical’ still meant an alternative to the fortress mentality of fundamentalism.” But the meaning of the term had changed radically, no longer describing a set of historic Christian doctrines. “ ‘Evangelical’ used to denote people who claimed the high moral ground,” he wrote. “Now, in popular usage, the word is nearly synonymous with ‘hypocrite.’ ” Keller sought a return to what he called “little-e evangelicalism,” which is “defined not by a political party, whether conservative, liberal, or populist, but by theological beliefs.” He expressed optimism for a future shaped not by white evangelicalism, whose core was aging and declining, but by a more diverse, global cadre of leaders who defied political categorization.
He later wrote an Op-Ed for the Times in which he warned that Christian faith should never be aligned with a single political party. “Most political positions,” Keller wrote, “are not matters of biblical command but of practical wisdom.” By way of example, he noted that the Bible made lifting up the poor a moral imperative, but that there were many ways to do so. “Should we shrink government and let private capital markets allocate resources, or should we expand the government and give the state more of the power to redistribute wealth? Or is the right path one of the many possibilities in between?” he wrote. “The Bible does not give exact answers to these questions for every time, place and culture.”
In June, 2020, Keller announced that he had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. One of his final projects, completed earlier this year, was an eighty-three-page white paper he called “The Decline and Renewal of the American Church.” It offers a wide-ranging set of prescriptions for what he viewed as the profound afflictions of the evangelical movement, including its anti-intellectualism, its problems with race, and the politicization of the church that has “turned off half the country.” The document is an exhaustive blueprint, but the question now is who will carry it out.
Keller’s passing leaves a void in the nascent movement to reform evangelicalism, and today’s social and political currents make the prospects for change seem dim. In his paper, Keller observed that, in the past, significant revival movements in Europe and North America often began with “pace-setting individuals”––in other words, people like Keller. Yet he was careful to add that “ultimately no one can control” what would capture the imagination, fortify the spirit, and become “an organic, significant movement.” In his view, this was the role of the divine. ♦

Ricky Gervais
Dear Ricky,
This is the 66th day in a row that I have written another open letter to you to comment on some of your episodes of AFTER LIFE.
As you know I am writing you a series of letters on Solomon’s efforts to find a meaning and purpose to life. Solomon tried to find a meaning and purpose to life UNDER THE SUN in the Book of Ecclesiastes in all of the 6 “L” words and looked into learning(1:16-18),laughter, ladies, luxuries, and liquor (2:1-3, 8, 10, 11), and labor (2:4-6, 18-20).
Tony and his wife Lisa who died 6 months ago of cancer
The new emphasis in the beginning of season 2 is the paranormal. Episode 1 in season two starts off with Tony going to a yoga session with Matt and it turns out to be a disaster. Next at a person wants to tell the newspaper how he got raped by the spirit of Liberace. Of course, we can’t leave our Kath who brings up the paranormal and the idea that she can tell when an angel enters a room.
Why do so many people throughout the world believe in God and an afterlife? Ecclesiastes 3:11 “God has planted eternity in the heart of men…” (Living Bible).
Even Tony seems to feel this in episode 4 of the first season of AFTER LIFE when Tony talks about being with his wife in the future.
Matt: Tony that doesn’t even make sense. You are a rational man. You don’t even believe in an afterlife.
Tony: I know she is nowhere. Alright. But get this through your head. I would rather be no where with her then somewhere without her.

Tony’s whole world collapsed when his wife died and it is admirable that Tony has such a good marriage, but if your self image is wrapped up in someone else then your world will self-destruct if that person dies. Take a look at Tim Keller’s story below comparing JIM and SAM:
—
A New Motivation
This is neither the traditional nor the modern way with the self. Ordinary moralistic religion operates on this principle:
“I live a good and moral life; therefore God accepts me.” Gospel Christianity operates in the opposite way: “God accepts me
unconditionally in Jesus Christ; therefore I live a good and moral life.” In the first case you live a good life out of the hope of a reward, with all the insecurity and self-doubts that go with it.
Will you ever be good enough for the reward? How will you
know if you are, and how will you keep it up even if you are? In
the Christian approach the motivation is one not of fear but of
grateful joy. You live to please and resemble the one who saved
you at infinite cost to himself by going to the cross. You serve him not in order to coerce him to love you but because he already does.
Now, for example, you pursue your career not to get a
self and achieve self-worth. You do it to serve God and the
common good. Your work is still part of your identity, as are your family, your nationality, and so on. But they are all relieved
of the terrible burden of being the ultimate source of your self and value. They no longer can distort your life as they do when
they are forced into that role. They are, as it were, demoted to
being just good things. Work is no longer something you use
desperately to feel good about yourself. It becomes just another
good gift from God that you can use to serve others. The internal
psychological and motivational dynamics of the personality are
profoundly transformed by faith in Christ.
Some years ago there were two young men attending my
church, exploring Christianity and also trying to make it in
acting. I’ll call them Sam and Jim. Sam was moving toward faith
in Christ while Jim was moving away. As Jesus became more real
to Sam, he stopped looking to his stage career as the measure of
his worth. Then Sam and Jim found themselves auditioning for
the same role. It was a very big part in a very big production. If
either of them had gotten the job, it would have propelled him to
great heights.
So they performed at the audition, but neither of them
was chosen. They both were turned down. Jim, the one whom
most people would have considered the more self-confident,
was simply devastated, while Sam was just disappointed. Sam
went out and got a job in business, and after that he kept one
foot in acting. Over the years he became very active in the
church and was reasonably successful in business.
Opportunities for stage or screen acting occurred occasionally,
but he engaged in them only as an avocation. His life thrived.
Jim, however, went into a tailspin. He was angry at himself and
the industry and left acting altogether, but he hated any other
job he took. He seldom remained in a job for more than a year,
drifting from place to place.
What happened? Originally, both men had acting as the
core of their identity. It was the main factor in their self-regard.
But then Sam had an identity shift. Acting became a good thing
but not an ultimate thing. His love of the stage was not evicted
from his life, but its stranglehold on his self-image and worth
was broken. It became part of who he was but not the essence of
who he was. That’s why the rejection of not getting the role
could not get at his identity. It was safe, impervious, hidden in
Jesus Christ (Colossians 3: 1–3). Jim, however, had a highly
vulnerable modern identity. His failure was an ax blow to his
psychological tree. The rejection went right to the root of what
made him feel he counted, what made him significant.
If you believe the Gospel and all its remarkable claims
about Jesus and what he has done for you and who you are in
him, then nothing that happens in this world can actually get at
your identity. Imagine, for a moment, what it would be like to
believe this. Consider what a sweeping difference it would make.

Francis Schaeffer comments on ECCLESIASTES below:
Ecclesiastes 9:7-12
7 Go, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart, for God has already approved what you do.
8 Let your garments be always white. Let not oil be lacking on your head.
9 Enjoy life with the wife whom you love, (DOES IT SOUND OPTIMISTIC? NOW COMES THE BACKLASH) all the days of your vain life that he has given you under the sun, because that is your portion in life and in your toil at which you toil under the sun. 10 Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might, for there is no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are going.
11 Again I saw that under the sun the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to the intelligent, nor favor to those with knowledge, but time and chance happen to them all. 12 For man does not know his time. Like fish that are taken in an evil net, and like birds that are caught in a snare, so the children of man are snared at an evil time, when it suddenly falls upon them.
Solomon when at work takes off his hat and he stands by the grave of man and he says, “ALAS. ALAS. ALAS.”
But interestingly enough the story of Ecclesiastes does not end its message here because in two places in the New Testament it is picked up and carried along and put in its proper perspective.
Luke 12:16-21
16 And he told them a parable, saying, “The land of a rich man produced plentifully, 17 and he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops?’ 18 And he said, ‘I will do this: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax,eat, drink, be merry.”’ [ALMOST EVERYONE WHO HAS PROCEEDED HERE HAS FELT CERTAINLY THAT JESUS IS DELIBERATELY REFERRING TO SOLOMON’S SOLUTION.]20 But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?’ 21 So is the one who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.”
Christ here points out the reason for the failure of the logic that is involved. He points out why it fails in logic and then why it fails in reality. This view of Solomon must end in failure philosophically and also in emotional desperation.
We are not made to live in the shortened environment of UNDER THE SUN in this life only!!! Neither are we made to live only in the environment of a bare concept of afterlife [ignoring trying to make this life better]. We are made to live in the environment of a God who exists and who is the judge. This is the difference and that is what Jesus is setting forth here.
I Corinthians 15:32
32 What do I gain if, humanly speaking, I fought with beasts at Ephesus? If the dead are not raised, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”
There is no doubt here he is reaching back to Solomon again and he is just saying if there isn’t a resurrection of the dead then let’s just follow Solomon and let’s just eat and drink for tomorrow we die!!!! If there isn’t this full structure [including the resurrection of the dead] then just have the courage to follow Solomon and we can eat and drink because tomorrow we die and that is all we have. If the full structure isn’t there then pick up the cup and drink it dry! You can say it a different way in the 20th century: If the full structure is not there then go ahead and be an EXISTENTIALIST, but don’t cheat. Drink the cup to the end. Drink it dry! That is what Paul says. Paul the educated man. Paul the man who knew his Greek philosophy. Paul the man who understood Solomon and the dilemma. Paul said it one way or the other. There is no room for a middle ground. IF CHRISTIANS AREN’T RAISED FROM THE DEAD THEN SOLOMON IS RIGHT IN ECCLESIASTES, BUT ONLY THEN. But if he is right then you should accept all of Solomon’s despair and his conclusions.
The answer to find meaning in life is found in putting your faith and trust in Jesus Christ. The Bible is true from cover to cover and can be trusted.
Thank you again for your time and I know how busy you are.
Sincerely,
Everette Hatcher, everettehatcher@gmail.com, http://www.thedailyhatch.org, cell ph 501-920-5733, 13900 Cottontail Lane, Alexander, AR 72002
PS: What is the meaning of life? Find it in the end of the open letter I wrote to you on April 23, 2020.

Part 11 Letter about Daniel Stanhope and optimistic humanism “If man has been kicked up out of that which is only impersonal by chance , then those things that make him man-hope of purpose and significance, love, motions of morality and rationality, beauty and verbal communication-are ultimately unfulfillable and thus meaningless.” (Francis Schaeffer)

He exclaims that the hates life (Ecclesiastes 2:17), he longs for death (4:2-3) Yet he stills has a fear of death (2:14-16)”
