KNOWING GOD
In his classic work Knowing God, J.I. Packer says that people who know God in Christ (rather than merely know about Him) are characterized by the following:
1. They have great energy for God.
2. They have great thoughts of God.
3. They show great boldness for God.
4. They have great contentment in God.

Wouldn't it be great to find more of these people? It seems that anymore, most pastors/church leaders seem to have great and grand thoughts about their 'ministry/program/building/ideas' and little thought about God and His glory!
I owe a great debt to Dr. Packer. His book, "Fundamentalism and the Word of God", taught me about proper biblical hermeneutics and led me away from Neo-Orthodoxy and back to biblical evangelicalism.
"Knowing God" should be required reading for all church members too!
