John Piper sounds a caution...

My caution concerns making theology God instead of God God. Loving doing theology rather than loving God.

Sam Crabtree said to me once, "The danger of the contemporary worship awakening is that we love loving God more than we love God." That was very profound. And you might love thinking about God more than you love God. Or arguing for God more than you love God. Or defending God more than you love God. Or writing about God more than you love God. Or preaching more than you love God. Or evangelizing more than you love God.

Nothing else now until Friday. Bye!


* HT seems to mean 'I pinched this from him'

Great quote. This was such a timely yet necessary exhortation from John. May we worship and serve the One True and Living God.
