"It is worth asking whether the doctrine of the Trinity pervades the teaching and worship of our churches. Would it be possible for an anti-Trinitarian heretic to sit comfortably in our services week after week? If the preacher quietly abandoned the doctrine of the Trinity, would anyone notice? The apostles gave us a Trinitarian pattern to follow in the New Testament. We neglect it to the impoverishment of the church. The more biblical the church becomes, the more the Trinity will become the explicit and implicit center of its worship, teaching, and witness." ~ Beeke & Smalley, /Reformed Systematic Theology/, I:885
