Here it is: <BR/><BR/> "...Indeed, the church cannot avoid theology in seeking to fulfill its mission. Though some think they can suspend theology, avoid the academic stratosphere, and achieve practical relevance, they succeed only in replacing a well-considered theology with a hodgepodge of theological scraps randomly interlaced with cultural ideas." - David Clark, To Know and Love God: Method for Theology, pp. 208-209rosemariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12650494026412824392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14012689.post-70520873746908784562008-07-19T08:18:00.000-04:002008-07-19T08:18:00.000-04:00Wow.

I lamented arguments between the two opinions and labelled them as fights over secondary issues.<BR/><BR/>But when by God's grace I embraced His full sovereignty in salvation, I instantly saw that my whole, entire worldview had undergone a tectonic shift. My view of God had radically expanded and become much more glorious...and, yes, praise-worthy.<BR/><BR/>These are not secondary issues.

Thanks for passing this on, and for doing and being what you are - of course, by God's grace, I fully understand! I have only headed up Banner of Truth's US operations for less than a year, but if there's anything that I, or we, can do in support of the Lord's work either in or through you, please let me know.
