A article worth reading on Tim Keller appears at nymag.com. In the article the author posts this statement made by Keller during a sermon on Habakkuk (emphasis mine):
Now Keller takes Habakkuk’s rap against the Babylonians—their “need to clothe themselves with glory”—and aims it straight back at his ambitious, striving Upper West Side congregation. He notes [...]

As we pause today to (hopefully to continue to) give thanks I’d like to share the following:
