II Corinthians 4:5: For we don't preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake;

  So quick now a days we label ourselves.  Calvinist, Arminian, Reformed, etc., etc.  I almost feel as if that is how some introduce themselves to others.  "Hi I am John Arminian Charismatic Doe."  Attending college has opened my eyes to a new world of theology and big words.  I recently took a step back and relaxed in the simplicity of God.  I feel as if I have gotten caught up in what I am, or rather what my label is.  This is scary, it is very easy to fall in.  Getting caught up in theology and only theology is dangerous.  Recently at APEX, pastor spoke on depression.  More importantly he talked about three types of people.  Heart, Mind, Will.  The heart being those that are led by the heart, are very into emotional services, but when things get tough they fall out.  The Mind being theology and knowledge.  These people are all about theology.  Theology jokes, talks, it consumes their lives.  The will being those that just want to live a good life and go to church.

    None of these by themselves are good, but altogether have potential to be one God glorifying person.  I haven;t found my balance, but it is important to seek.  This verse spoke a lot to me on this topic.  I don't want to preach myself, or my theology, but rather Christ and Him alone.
