God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

The Holy Spirit never intended to occupy the center stage in the life of the church. Yes, He is the dynamic behind every Christian life. That is His role; that is His ministry (cf. Acts 1:8; 2 Cor. 3:18; Eph. 5:18). However, when He is thrust into the limelight by man, such is not in accord with the will of God as revealed in Scripture. Our Lord Jesus Christ is to have the preeminence in all things (cf. Col. 1:13-18). The Spirit’s ministry focuses upon revealing the Lord Jesus Christ and in exalting Jesus before all (cf. John 15:26; 16:13-15)… When people talk more about the Spirit than the Lord Jesus Christ, such an orientation points to error in the church.

    Scholasticism

    SCHOLASTICISM

    DEFINITION The attempt to rationalize in order to buttress faith by reason. This is the term given to the great Roman Catholic thinkers of around the 13th century, the greatest of which was St. Thomas Aquinas. In scholasticism, theology was treated from a philosophical rather than a Biblical point of view. The data of revelation was organized systematically, using Aristotlian deductive logic; Biblical truth was harmonized with the newly discovered philosophy of Aristotle.
