11. “Because I love God, I want to handle his truth with accuracy, clarity, and specificity. I want to build bridges of understanding from the wisdom of the Word to the details of people’s lives. And because I love people, I will not be satisfied with lobbing grenades of general truth at them. Rather, through good questions, committed listening, and careful interpretation, I will enter their world with the understanding necessary to bring Christ’s help to where it is really needed.” Tripp, P.D. (2002). Instruments in the Redeemer’s Hands. Phillipsburg, New Jersey: P&R Publishing. p. 197
