If we idolize our theological system, we must demonize other theological systems. Mark Driscoll, Doctrine: What Christians Should Believe Regarding how God is to be worshiped, God must be worshiped as he wishes, not as we wish. The Bible is clear that God is to be worshiped in ways and forms that he deems acceptable. This explains why God judges those who seek to worship him with either sinful forms externally20 or sinful hearts internally.21 This is incredibly important. Some churches care more about what is in peoples hearts than about what they do in their lives, whereas others are more concerned about doing things the right way and care little about the motivations behind those actions.... Moralizing is reading the Bible not to learn about Jesus but only to learn principles for how to live life as a good person by following the good examples of some people and avoiding the bad examples of others. That kind of approach to the Scriptures is not Christian, because it treats the Bible like any other book with moral lessons that are utterly disconnected from faith in and salvation from Jesus. Mark Driscoll, Doctrine: What Christians Should Believe
What a very educational and informative and VERY well researched book! It seems to cover all the really important Biblical subjects such as creation, the trinity, Jesus' death and resurrection, stewardship, hell, etc. I especially have enjoyed watching Mark Driscoll's Doctrine messages that go in line with each chapter to learn things... This book is absolutely phenomenal and striking. Coming from a background in Mormonism which mixes strange modalism theology with pagan practice, this comprehensive, in depth, incredibly well researched not to mention written book of basic and biblically sound and correct Christian doctrine is a must read as it unpacks the difference... I read through this together with a few other guys, one chapter a week, as a way of introducing them to reading theology. We then met up each week to discuss. It worked really well in this format and I know all the guys benefited from the discipline of reading and talking about theological concepts, particularly soteriology, eschatology...
