Having recently been involved in some studies on eschatology with some post-millennial friends, I came across a quote that has quickly become one of my favorites.

Mere acquaintance with correct doctrine is a poor substitute for Christ, and familiarity with New Testament eschatology will never take the place of a love-inflamed desire to look on His face. — A.W. Tozer

Tozer would not seek to minimize the importance of doctrinal studies, especially for us which are living in a culture dominated by churchianity in which ecumenism and biblical ignorance decorates the religious landscape. Tozer’s point is well taken and likely insulting not only to modern mainstream churchianity but also to those who elevate doctrinal studies over compassionate hearts that reach out to those in need.

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth. (2 Timothy 2:15 ESV)

You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me [i.e. Jesus]… (John 5:39 ESV)

Notice the two inseparably interrelated distinctives. God’s people should be the most serious bible students with a thorough understanding of John 5:39. Hopefully then, whether studying essential core doctrines or contemplating the various eschatological viewpoints, our studies will help kindle that “love-inflamed desire to look on His face.”
