This is from RC Sproul:
No christian can avoid theology. Every christian has a theology. The issue, then, is not, do we want to have a theology. Thats a given. The real issue is, do we have a sound theology. Do we embrace true or false doctrine?
R.C. Sproul
Yep! Thats it. Right on the money RC. Get to it people.
Blessings.

This just a theological nugget.
Just a thought...
"To be preoccupied with getting theological knowledge as an end in
itself, to approach Bible study with no higher a motive than a
desire to know all the answers, is the direct route to a state of
self-satisfied self-deception. We need to guard our hearts against
such an attitude, and pray to be kept from it." - J I Packer
How true! As serious students and teachers of God's Word, we must
always examine our motivations. I found this quote in an email from bestbiblecommentaries.com

The Preachers job!
This taken from the website of Justin Childers at CROSS-eyed.
The Simplicity of the Preacher's Task
"In the end, our calling as preachers is really very simple. We study, we stand before our people, we read the text, and we explain it. We reprove, rebuke, exhort, encourage, and teach--and then we do it all again and again and again."
-Al Mohler, He is Not Silent, p. 64.

We must speak up, speak out and and speak forth the Word of God!

Something I noticed
I was talking to some Witness' today and I noticed something interesting. And as I think about it, I think it applies to all disbelieving groups and their like.
They will not believe the Bible, no matter what you try to show them.
We talked for a long time today and it was a team of father and a son. The son asked his first question and I listened and then told them what I think about it. Then I gave them my interpretation. The facts are that either I was right or they were OR we were both wrong. If what you believe is not in the Scriptures, then let it go. Every verse used today I either showed them in context or showed them using Greek or Hebrew tools. (And we are talking tools that are available to everybody, not just the "special people" that have been to seminary as I have been.) The young man had his materials from the Watchtower and was ready to go but they could not deal with the simple Word of God.
Any way in which I offended them... I am truly sorry for because I tried not too. But boy the dad was frustrated by the end. I hope they come back in a couple of weeks.
