"Repentance means turning from as much as you know of your sin to give as much as you know of yourself to as much as you know of your God, and as our knowledge grows at these three points, so our practice of repentance has to be enlarged." -J.I. Packer

And from another ''borrowed" book, this time from my dad...
"If we ought ever to exercise our affections at all, then they ought to be exercised about those objects which are most worthy of them. But is there anything which Christians can find in heaven or earth so worthy to be the objects of their admiration and love, their earnest and longing desires, their hope, and their rejoicing, and their fervent zeal, as these things that are held forth to us in the gospel of Jesus Christ?" - Jonathan Edwards, Religious Affections
