4 Kinds of People – According to Tim Keller, there are four kinds of people in the world. Read the article to find out who they are and what they believe.

Lonely Me – “I am lonely. Any echo in your own heart, or is it just me? Those who know me casually might be surprised to see such a confession. After all, I am a pastor leading a bustling church, and my life is a swirl of people and relationships. On any given night, there are hundreds of homes I could call or stop by for a warm welcome.
