Doctrine is important and it forms the basis for what we know about God, but is there a difference between being devoted to Christ Himself and being devoted to a set of doctrines? It is sad to see some so devoted to their doctrines that they seem to lose the humble devotion that should be Christ’s alone. Like being devoted to your wife’s résumé and not her personally, we can get so caught up with our systematic theology, even if true, and lose our devotion to the Risen Christ. I have addressed that at FJL.
