A mindless Christianity will produce a spineless Christianity - Joel R. Beeke in Whatever Happened to the Reformation? - ed. by Johnson and White, p. 245

Where there is little difference between the Christian and the non-Christian in what we think and believe, there will soon be little difference in how we live. - Joel R. Beeke in Whatever Happened to the Reformation? - ed. by Johnson and White, p. 246

Puritan preaching addressed the mind with clarity. It addressed man as a rational creature. The Puritans loved and worshiped God with their minds. They viewed the mind as the palace of faith. They refused to set mind and heart against each other, but taught that knowledge was the soil in which the Spirit planted the seed of regeneration. Puritans thus preached that we need to think in order to be holy. - Joel R. Beeke in Whatever Happened to the Reformation? - ed. By Johnson and White - p. 245
