But good theology should never diminish zeal. God never meant it to. When truth is searched for, discovered, and defined it has the power to inflame the heart and empower the soul and energize the will to do what otherwise may seem burdensome and boring. Theological truth is not the problem. Arrogance is. Contrary to what some charismatics have suggested, the flesh is the enemy, not the "mind". god gave us brains to employ in service of the kingdom and to enjoy him and all that he is for us in Jesus. People can be just as arrogant and proud of their intellectual simplicity as others are of their brilliance.
Sam Storms, Convergence, p. 127
