Some Reinforcements
nSpirituality gives us an absolute basis for diligence, honesty, truth-seeking, etc.
nWithout these, scholarship cannot flourish.
nScholarship emphasizes:
nfreedom to investigate,
nimportance of believing only what is true.
nBoth of these are needed to advance in spirituality & to avoid two common problems in the modern church:
nExcessive dogmatism,
nRefusal to practice doctrinal discipline.
