“We must not worship without study, for ignorant worship is of limited value and can be very dangerous. We may develop ‘a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge’ (Rom. 10:2) and do great harm to ourselves and others.  But worship must be added to study to complete the renewal of our mind through a willing absorption in the radiant person who is worthy of all praise.  Study without worship is also dangerous, and the people of Jesus constantly suffer from its effects, especially in academic settings. To handle the things of God without worship is always to falsify them.”
