Name: Pumpkin Soup
Ingredients: 6 c Chicken broth; 3 c Prepared pumpkin, 1/2" cubes; 1 c Thinly sliced onion; 1 Clove garlic; 1 1/4 ts Salt; 1/2 ts Dried thyme leaves; 5 Peppercorns; 1/2 c Whipping cream, warmed; 1 ts Snipped fresh parsley

Education about God precedes and serves exultation in God. Learning truth precedes loving truth. Right reflection on God precedes right affection for God. Seeing the glory of Christ precedes savoring the glory of Christ. Good theology is the foundation of great doxology. Knowledge is utterly crucial. But it is not an end in itself. It serves faith and love. And if it doesn't, it only puffs up, as Paul says in 1 Corinthians 8:1. Where education does not produce heartfelt exultation in God, it degenerates into proud intellectualism. And where exultation is not sustained and shaped by solid Biblical education, it degenerates into proud emotionalism. God means to be known and loved. Seen and savored. Pondered and praised.
