Great quote from David Wells
From his new book, The Courage to be Protestant...
"What is of first importance to the church is not that it learn to mimic the culture but that it learn to think God's thoughts after him. The people of God are here on earth to learn how to recenter him, as it were, to see him in the place that he actually occupies, to worship him accordingly, and to live before him day after day."
(David Wells, The Courage to be Protestant, 2008, p. 98)
Absolutely right on the money! Every page of this book is a revelation, not of something new that I didn't know before but in the succinct and penetrating way that Wells describes it. This book is a worthy successor to the old classic by Machen, Christianity and Liberalism.
