- Beware of the idolatry of pragmatism (2 Chronicles 28:19-27) - "Beware ... of sacrificing truth and holiness on the altar of what seems to work. Things are not what they seem."
- Welcome the love of the truth and so be saved (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12) - "If a person does not love the truth, he is not saved. Loving truth is one of the sure fruits of the justified life."
- Beware of pride which brings destruction (2 Chronicles 26) - "1) Never ... be above criticism and correction. ... invite ... constructive criticism whenever [there seems to be] some attitude or words or actions that dishonor the Lord. 2) Stay close to the cross and never cease to be amazed and thankful that you are saved. People who are perpetually and thankfully amazed that God has saved them are not likely to be destroyed by pride.

Wow, the first issue of pragmatism, and having it as an idol - that is such a good word for me and for the day that we live in.
