NewWorth reading for this one quote
First, I think it is possible to approach theology with necessary humility without referring to each other or oneself as idiots. That terminology seem needlessly derogatory.
But having said that, I found this quote to be great:
J. P. shares an anecdote of telling a friend “Great job!” after a sermon. His friend replied ever so piously, “Oh, it was all God,” to which J. P. replied, “If it was all God, it would have been a lot better than that!”

I'm finishing up a series from the book of Job this weekend. The entire book is helpful with maintaining perspective, and especially the last few chapters.
