"To me, there nothing more important in a preacher than that he should have a systematic theology, that he should know it and be well grounded in it. This systematic theology, this body of truth which is derived from the Scripture, should always be present as a background and as a controlling influence in his preaching" (Lloyd-Jones, as quoted in Sargent, The Sacred Anointing, p. 241).

Hmmm...well...I suspect the venerable Mr. Lloyd-Jones would agree that knowing the Living Word and the written Word are just a skosh more important than having a systematic theology.

Yet Valerie, I would say it's impossible to "know" the Word and NOT have systematized it. You can't have one without the other.
