Over my life as a Christian I have grown - though still need to grow substantially more - in my ability to bend in the direction of God's Word and in knowing the God in whom we live and move and have our being (Acts 17:28). On these themes, this quote seems quite true to me intellectually and experientially:

We need to be constantly reminded ... that theological knowing is inseperable from the life of obedience and faith. It is fostered through worship and prayer – those practices by which we submit ourselves to the Word and Spirit of God – and is borne of humility before the Word.
