J.I. Packer (Difference)

There’s a difference between knowing God and knowing about God. When you truly know God, you have energy to serve Him, boldness to share Him, and contentment in Him.

J.I. Packer (Theologian, 1926 – Current)

R.T. Kendall (Relationship)

A full relationship is what God offers to those who come to God by Jesus. Imagine this! An open invitation to become a member of the royal family and a joint-heir with the Son of God.

R.T. Kendall (Writer, 1935 – Current)

R.T. Kendall (Power)

The power of the Holy Spirit cannot be successfully duplicated. If a person is supernaturally changed and given a love for God’s glory, God did it.

R.T. Kendall (Writer, 1935 – Current)

R.T. Kendall (Forgiveness)

Detached forgiveness—there is a reduction in negative feelings toward the offender, but no reconciliation takes place. Limited forgiveness—there is a reduction in negative feelings toward the offender, and the relationship is partially restored, though there is a decrease in the emotional intensity of the relationship. Full forgiveness—there is a total cessation of negative feelings toward the offender, and the relationship is fully restored.

R.T. Kendall (Writer, 1935 – Current)

R.T. Kendall (God’s Will)

The happiest pillow on which you may rest your head is the knowledge of God’s will. I cannot imagine a more miserable situation than consciously to be out of God’s will.

R.T. Kendall (Writer, 1935 – Current)
