This is great. I've noticed that whenever I assert the importance of right doctrine a lot of evangelicals (none of whom can be found in the Reformed camp!) express concern over becoming all head knowledge with no heart. I tell them not to worry -- it will be a long time before they get to that point, and when they do, I can point them to several of our contemporaries who have managed to strike the balance just fine!
Evangelicals unfortunately have bought into tolerance notion about being passive.

ReplyDeleteVery true! Theology must lead us to Doxology or we will not grow in grace properly.
