Exultation that does not flow from education, affections that do not flow from knowing, savoring that does not flow from seeing, feeling that does not flow from thinking - are hollow and rootless - noisy gongs and clanging cymbals. and god is not glorified by artificial and empty passions. true delight is rooted in true doctrine. god-centered exultation is rooted in god-centered education.

Exultation That Does Not Flow From Education,
