The way to be truly happy is to be truly human, and the way to be truly human is to be truly godly.
J. I. PackerGod made us thinking beings, and he guides our minds as we think things out in his presence.
J. I. PackerIt is not his business to argue men into faith, for that cannot be done; but it is his business to demonstrate the intellectual adequacy of the biblical faith and the comparative inadequacy of its rivals, and to show the invalidity of the criticisms that are brought against it. This he seeks to do, not from any motive of intellectual self-justification, but for the glory of God and His gospel.
J. I. PackerThe more you praise, the more vigor you will have for prayer; and the more you pray, the more matter you will have for praise.
J. I. PackerKnowing 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
