Too Much of One Doctrine

Douglas Wilson (whose blogging on Piper's book responding to NT Wright) has this great quote from Spurgeon:

"It is not true that some doctrines are only for the initiated; there is nothing in the Bible which is ashamed of the light . . . All revealed truth in harmonious proportion must be your theme . . . Do not insist perpetually upon one truth alone. A nose is an important feature in the human countenance, but to paint a man's nose alone is not a satisfactory method of taking his likeness: a doctrine may be very important, but an exaggerated estimate of it may be fatal to an harmonious and complete ministry" (Charles Spurgeon, Lectures to My Students, pp. 74-75).
