Enough with wonky Systematic Theology Hermeneutics please!

Dr. Waldemar Kowalski, who has lectured Systematic Theology at Northwest University for about 30 years, gives this sound advise:

"Systematic Theology must start with Exegetical Theology. I have no respect for Systematic Theology that does not start with the basis of the bible. If you are trying to think about God without paying any attention to how God has revealed himself. I think you are starting from the wrong place."

A thousand amens to that! To interpret Scripture with Systematic Theological lenses is such dangerous game to play.

Preachers preaching about everything but the bible...

In his Systematic Theology 1 Class, Dr. Wally Kowalski was recounting how his daughter was telling his wife about her church search after relocating to another city, "Mum, I'm so tired going to church and hearing preachers tell stories about themselves. I want to hear about God. I want a church where they actually read the bible and preach about what the bible says. And yeah I symphatise with her, that's exactly how I feel as well."
