J.I. Packer Quotes

Who Can Pray This Request And Mean It? Only He Who Looks At The Whole Of Life From This Point Of View. Such A Man Will Not Fall Into The Trap Of Superspirituality, So Concentrating On God's Redemption As To Disregard His Creation; People Like That, However Devoted And Well-meaning, Are Unearthly In More Senses Than One, And Injure Their Own Humanity. Instead, He Will See Everything As Stemming Ultimately From The Creator's Hand, And Therefore As Fundamentally Good And Fascinating, Whatever Man May Have Made Of It (beauty, Sex, Nature, Children, Arts, Crafts, Food, Games, No Less Than Theology And Church Things). Then In Thankfulness And Joy He Will So Live As To Help Others See Life's Values, And Praise God For Them, As He Does. Supremely In This Drab Age, Hallowing God's Name Starts Here, With An Attitude Of Gratitude For The Goodness Of The Creation.
