No Christian can avoid theology. Every Christian is a theologian. Perhaps not a theologian in the technical or professional sense, but a theologian nevertheless. The issue for Christians is not whether we are going to be theologians but whether we are going to be good theologians or bad ones.

No unborn baby has ever had the right to choose or deny its own destruction.

In salvation we are not only saved from sin and damnation; we are saved unto holiness. The goal of redemption is holiness.
