Goodness – Timothy Keller [2014 Sermon]

Summary

The sermon explores the concept of goodness in contemporary society, referencing recent New York Times articles about digital cruelty and the dark potential of human nature, particularly in anonymous online spaces. Drawing from a biblical text in Micah, the pastor emphasizes that God requires people to "act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly," challenging the current trend of increasing incivility and cruelty. The key takeaway is a call for Christians to cultivate genuine goodness as a spiritual fruit, demonstrating compassion and restraint in a world that often seems increasingly harsh and unloving.
