Strong rebuke of American evangelicalism, revivalism and the Church Growth Movement. Doctrine follows practice, he strongly asserts, and it has a negative affect on the assurance of our faith. I agreed with a lot of what he said, and other parts I'll have to think about.
The fire and the staff captures the relationships between doctrine and practice. Doctrine is like fire, it lights our way and warms us. Doctrine affects practice and practice affects doctrine. The two are woven together.
