CONCLUDING REMARKS
1. If you isolate the mind from loving God with your deepseated affections, conscious thought life, and bodily powers, then you will have cultivated fertile ground for pride to grow.
2. If you isolate the mind from loving God with your deepseated affections, conscious thought life, and bodily powers, then you will have cultivated fertile ground for unnecessary dogmatism to grow.
3. If you isolate the mind from loving God with your deepseated affections, conscious thought-life, and bodily powers, then you have cultivated fertile ground for unhealthy doubt and skepticism to grow.
4. If you isolate your deep-seated affections, conscious thought-life, and bodily powers from loving God with your mind, that is, your ability to reason, judge, and deliberate, then you have cultivated fertile ground for anti-intellectualism to grow.
5. Never study theology in isolation of actively participating in community. If you do isolate yourself, then you will become dysfunctional spiritually, emotionally, relationally, and intellectually.
6. If you isolate your theological studies from community, then you have cultivated fertile ground for weariness and oppression to set in. Your studies will eventually become a “duty” and not a “pleasure.”
7. If you neglect your theological studies from worship, then you will have ignored the opportunity to grow in conformity to “true truth.” MAKE YOUR STUDIES AN EXPRESSION OF WORSHIP.
8. Test every truth-claim by examining whether it is logical, exegetically accurate, and theologically coheres with the whole of Scripture. Dismiss any truth-claim that does not harmonize with these three tests.
9. You are the not the determiner, but the discoverer of doctrine; not the magistrate, but the minister of doctrine; not the regulator, but the recognizer of doctrine; not the judge, but the witness of doctrine; not the master, but the servant of doctrine.
10. Never ignore the correlative value of natural theology, church history, and consequences.
11. You are never immune to sin. Sin will take you places you never thought you would go. Stand firm against the devil, but immediately flee from sin.
12. The Christian life is “not merely content, but conviction; not merely conviction, but communication; not merely
communication, but consistency.” ~ Ravi Zacharias.
