The pulpit is no place for dispassionate theologizing. Passion is a necessity in preaching. Passion in the pulpit produces passion in the pew… Preaching without passion is not preaching at all.
— John Murray
The foundation of all true theology is humility, for when pride takes root in a theologian, the entire system of his doctrine becomes corrupted.
— Francis Turretin
Theology must first be a conversation with God… God speaks and we listen.
— Richard Lints
We preachers must practice in our pulpits what we believe in our theology: Christ is the grand theme, the singular message, the supreme subject of all the Bible.
— Greg Heisler
There is another kind of divine working that may occur without our being aware of it, or at least without our recognizing it for what it is. This is that wondrous operation of God known in theology as prevenient grace.
—AW Tozer
Theology is the science which derives the knowledge of God from His revelation, which studies and thinks into it under the guidance of His Spirit, and then tries to describe it so that it ministers to His honor.
—Herman Bavinck
There can be no greater mistake than to suppose that Jesus ever separated theology from ethics.

In theology, Calvin stands alone, shining like a bright fixed star, while other leaders and teachers can only circle round him ~ Spurgeon
There can be no greater mistake than to suppose that Jesus ever separated theology from ethics, or that if you remove His theology – His beliefs about God and judgment, future woe for the wicked and future blessedness for the good – you can leave His ethical teaching intact.
