Proving Ourselves or Worshipping God? Wednesday's Woe #37

Here is something  I read on Tim Challies' blog this week that ties into a few posts that I've written in the past:

"The driving passion behind our pursuit of biblical orthdoxy is “not to prove ourselves more right or better than someone else but to better worship the holy God, the one who forgives and accepts us for Christ’s sake alone.” He looks to Tim Keller and says “if we make a good thing like correct theology the ultimate end--if being right becomes more important to us than worshiping God--then our theology is not really about God anymore. It’s about us. It becomes the source of our sense of worth and identity. And if theology becomes about us, then we’ll despise and demonize those who oppose us.” (referencing the book "Humble Orthodoxy" by Josh Harrris).
