God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
When the word of God, faithfully taught by the people of God and empowered by the Spirit of God, falls down, people become different... The ultimate purpose of the Word of God is not theological information but heart and life transformation. Biblical literacy and theological expertise are not, therefore, the end of the Word of God but a God-ordained means to an end, and the end is a radically transformed life because the worship at the center of that life has been reclaimed.
