Theology, When Taught Well, Is Practical

Peter Mead points out that we need to preach [and I would say, "teach"] to demonstrate the consistent links between the biblical/theological and the pastoral/practical. "People need to understand that the most theological or doctrinal passages in their Bible have real-life relevance to them. People need to recognize that instruction purporting to be practical and relevant but lacking a solid biblical grounding is inherently weak."

Amen! God's crummy enemies would certainly encourage disconnects between theology and behavior, but they specialize in lies.

Peter continues to crank out many delightful and insightful blog posts, so I encourage you to monitor his Biblical Preaching blog.
