Intellect, Affection & Obedience

"THose who insist on the intellect of man or the doctrinal accuracy of his thoughts as the pinnacle of religious expression need to consider that no idea or attitude or theory or doctrine is of any value that does not inflame the heart and stir the affections in love and joy and fear of God. Those who argue that moral obedience is the essence of religion fail to see that such behavior is only good to the degree that is springs from and finds its source in the holy affections of the heart as they described in Scripture."

-Signs Of The Spirit, Sam Storms, Pg. 55
