J. I. PackerGod's wisdom is not, and never was, pledged to keep a fallen world happy, or to make ungodliness comfortable.
J. I. PackerThe most excellent study of expanding the soul, is the science of Christ, and Him crucified, and the knowledge of the Godhead in the glorious Trinity.
J. I. PackerEase and luxury, such as our affluence brings today, do not make for maturity; hardship and struggle however do.
J. I. PackerThe God of Israel is King of kings and Lord of lords... He know, and foreknows, all things, and his foreknowledge is foreordination; he, therefore, will have the last word, both in world history and in the destiny of every man; his kingdom and righteousness will triumph in the end, for neither men nor angels shall be able to thwart him.
J. I. Packer
