(1/6) Reformed theology is richly biblical, but if we're not on guard, it can cause unbiblical fruit, such as:

- An over-emphasis on theologically correcting others
- Never showing emotion in worship
- Thinking salvation isn't a decision
- Rarely acknowledging the Holy Spirit

(2/6) Reformed theology doesn't directly teach any of these things, but because of our sinful natures and because of how doctrinal and intellectual reformed theology is, these tend to be the unbiblical byproducts that we must actively fight against.

(3/6) Rebuking Christians is biblical (Matt 18:15-17; Prov 27:5), but must be balanced with loving encouragement (1 Thess 5:11).

Worship must be rooted in theology (Jn 4:24), but should also be an outflow of our hearts which leads to emotion at least in some degree (Ps 95:1-2)

(4/6) Salvation is God's doing (Psalm 3:8; John 6:44; Titus 3:5), but we must make our own conscious decision to repent and trust in Jesus (Matthew 4:27; Romans 10:9) even though repentance and faith isn't possible without God gifting it first (2 Timothy 2:25; Ephesians 2:8).

(5/6) Because we've seen churches engage in chaotic, blasphemous frenzies and say it's from the Holy Spirit, we can tend to avoid him. But the Spirit is key to the Christian life (John 14:26). We should constantly be aware of his presence, even if it feels "too spiritual."

(6/6) At the end of the day, I praise God for reformed theology; it's changed my life! But may we make sure that we hold fast to every verse and truth of the Bible, even the ones that make us uncomfortable or the ones that challenge our beliefs.

Let's press on, believers!
