Excellence and the Character of God

As evangelicals, we have too often, in Francis Schaeffer’s words, been “addicted to mediocrity,” and this trend has in many ways become a curse—a curse that has kept us from reaching our personal, creative, and academic potential given to us by God, and has prevented us from impacting other believers and unbelievers for the glory of God and his kingdom. But our God is excellent, and the excellence of our God calls us to excellence in all that we do—including biblical and theological scholarship.
