J. I. Packer
Have you been holding back from a risky, costly course to which you know in your heart God has called you? Hold back no longer. Your God is faithful to you, and adequate for you. You will never need more than He can supply, and what He supplies, both materially and spiritually, will always be enough for the present.
J. I. Packer
Revival is the visitation of God which brings to life Christians who have been sleeping and restores a deep sense of God's near presence and holiness. Thence springs a vivid sense of sin and a profound exercise of heart in repentance, praise, and love, with an evangelistic outflow.
J. I. Packer
There's a difference between knowing God and knowing about God. When you truly know God, you have energy to serve Him, boldness to share Him, and contentment in Him.
J. I. Packer
The Life of true holiness is rooted in the soil of awed adoration
J. I. Packer
Suffering is getting what you do not want while wanting what you do not get.
J. I. Packer
Trying to describe what I do in prayer would be like telling the world how I make love to my wife.
J. I. Packer
Creatures are not entitled to register complaints about their Creator.
J. I. Packer
God's overriding goal is to glorify Himself.

The Church no more gave us the New Testament canon than Isaac Newton gave us the force of gravity.
J. I. Packer
