Knowing about God is crucially important for the living of our lives... Disregard the study of God, and you sentence yourself to stumble and blunder through life blindfolded, as it were, with no sense of direction and no understanding of what surrounds you. This way you can waste your life and lose your soul.

J. I. Packer
Image
Repentance is more than just sorrow for the past repentance is a change of mind and heart, a new life of denying self and serving the Savior as king in self's place.
J. I. Packer
Image
Repentance, as we know, is basically not moaning and remorse, but turning and change.
J. I. Packer
Image
The Evangelical is not afraid of facts, for he knows that all facts are God's facts nor is he afraid of thinking, for he knows that all truth is God's truth, and right reason cannot endanger sound faith.
