If your joy matches my joy as we continue in our Christian lives, you will be blessed indeed.

What we do every time we pray is confess our impotence and God's sovereignty.

The more you think about it, the more staggering it gets. Nothing in fiction is so fantastic as this truth of the Incarnation.

Many have joked about J.I. Packer's many book blurbs. But why did he blurb so many? @FredFredSanders shares an answer.

Prayer and praise are like a bird's two wings: with both working, you soar; with one out of action, you are earthbound.

God answers the prayer we ought to have made rather than the prayer we did make.

“Early into my first year at Trinity I looked up as I was finishing dinner and there was Dr Packer, bussing my table. I was discomforted by the anomaly of my highly esteemed instructor collecting my dirty dishes, yet he was perfectly at ease in doing so.”

I believe that prayer is the measure of the man, spiritually, in a way that nothing else is, so that how we pray is as important a question as we can ever face.

“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.” - @DrJIPacker

In this repackaged edition of 'Rediscovering Holiness,' J. I. Packer explores the central role holiness plays in God’s plan of salvation for the renewal of the church, calling on Christians to shun sin, strive to be more like Christ, be pure, and fear God.

Q: What would be your final words to the church?
A: I think I can boil it down to four words: “Glorify Christ every way.”

Let everyone else tell you about the impact Dr. Packer had on theology and their Christian life. I’m here to tell you he was a really funny guy. I recall my first encounter with the great man a few months after I began work at Regent. We were both in line for coffee. /2
