The Person Who Knows Only His Side

Dogmatics Is The Testing Of Church Doctrine And Proclamation.

Theology Is Not A Private Subject For Theologians Only. Nor Is It A Private Subject For Professors. Fortunately, There Have Always Been Pastors Who Have Understood More About Theology Than Most Professors. Nor Is Theology A Private Subject Of Study For Pastors. Fortunately, There Have Repeatedly Been Congregation Members, And Often Whole Congregations, Who Have Pursued Theology Energetically While Their Pastors Were Theological Infants Or Barbarians. Theology Is A Matter For The Church.

Faith Is Never Identical With Piety Even If It Were The Purest And Finest.

The Theologian Who Labours Without Joy Is Not A Theologian At All.

Our Position Is Such That We Can Be Rescued From Eternal Death And Translated Into Life Only By Total And Unceasing Substitution, The Substitution Which God Himself Undertakes On Our Behalf.
