Mixing it up

Thinking theologically should never be treated as a stimulating exercise only, but should be approached with due reverence and fear. Cole observes that the writers of the Psalms and the apostle Paul give us good examples of how to marry thought and worship. In the Psalms, we see knowledge of God turned into prayer, and in his letters, Paul is forever interrupting his teachings with a "burst of praise".1
