Who Needs Theology?
One of my favorite blogs, The Chorus in the Chaos, has a recent new post on the need for more theology by Christians, not less. Consider these words by Paul in Ephesians 4:
“11 And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, 12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, 13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, 14 so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. 15 Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ”
By being more grounded in Christ, we are less likely to be swayed by fads and trends in doctrines that aren’t firmly established in the Bible.
Check out the post and let me know what you think. Do we need to all be theologians in some sense? Or do we just need Jesus?
‘I Don’t Need Theology, I Just Need Jesus’ Just Means You Have Bad Theology
