REFORMED THEOLOGY
I really like these words from Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis (the church John Piper pastors). The words come from the church's statement on Reformed theology, which the Bethlehem Church staff wholeheartedly affirms.
"Our own struggle makes us patient with others who are on the way. We believe that all the wrestling to understand what the Bible teaches about God is worth it. God is a rock of strength in a world of quicksand. To know him in his sovereignty is to become like an oak tree in the wind of adversity and confusion. And along with strength is sweetness and tenderness beyond imagination. The sovereign Lion of Judah is the sweet Lamb of God."
