		<description>Wow - I just found this over at Justin Taylor&#039;s blog, quoting Carson:

Nevertheless there is something wrong-headed about making polemical theology the focus of one’s theological identity. This can be done in many ways. There are well-known scholars whose every publication has an undertone of “everyone-has-got-this-wrong-before-me-but-here-is-the-true-synthesis.” Some become far better known for what they are against than for the overflow of their worship or for their generosity to the needy or even for their affirmation of historically confessed truth. Still other Christians develop websites and ministries whose sole aim is to confute error. God knows there is plenty of error to confute. To make the refutation of error into a specialized “ministry,” however, is likely to diminish the joyful affirmation of truth and make every affirmation of truth sound angry, supercilious, self-righteous—in a word, polemical. In short, while polemical theology is just about unavoidable in theory and should not, as a matter of faithfulness, be skirted, one worries about those who make it their specialism.

You and D.A. Carson, Darryl are referring to the same thing - no one could ever call you &quot;wrong headed&quot; !!</description>

		<description>Good quote. Our Associate Pastor wrote an excellent devotional on a similar theme, so I shamelessly promote it here. It is very good.
