Evangelical churches are weaker than we realize because we dont teach the confessions and doctrine.
J. I. PackerWe are only living truly human lives just so far as we are labouring to keep God's commandments; no further.
J. I. PackerWe must learn to measure ourselves, not by our knowledge about God, not by our gifts and responsibilities in the church, but by how we pray and what goes on in our hearts. Many of us, I suspect, have no idea how impoverished we are at this level. Let us ask the Lord to show us.
