“We are frequently told, indeed, that the great danger of the theological student lies precisely in his constant contact with divine things. They may come to seem common to him because they are customary. As the average man breathes the air and basks in the sunshine without ever  thought that it is God in his goodness who makes his sun to rise on him, though he is evil, and sends rain to him though he is unjust; so you may come to handle even the furniture of the sanctuary with never a thought above the gross earthly materials of which it is made. . . . The very atmosphere of your life is these thing; you breathe them in at every pore: they surround you, encompass you, press in upon you from every side,. It is all in danger of becoming common to you! God forgiven you, you are in danger of becoming weary of God!”

-B.B. Warfield from “The Religious Life of Theological Students”
