In his book Think: The Life of the Mind and the Love of God, John Piper concludes by encouraging thinkers and non-thinkers. I particularly enjoyed this quote:
Even though you don't often think about the way you think, try to avoid the worst mental mistakes in dealing with the Bible and those who teach it. For example, if you are listening to a preacher and he says something like, "God can't be completely sovereign and yet humans still be responsible for their choices," don't suddenly jump on that misguided intellectual train. Instead say to him, "sure he can; both are in the Bible." Then go on about your work.
