Bible Note:  Hello D P Marin,

You stated, "The trouble is, theology makes people ignorant of the Lord God’s Presence." At best, that's only partially true... but let's not throw the proverbial baby out with the bath water:-) Maybe better said errant or mis-directed theology makes people ignorant of God! Psalm 18:2 is a theological statement:-)

At it's core, theology is simply the study or science of God. I firmly believe it is crucial for the life of the church that sound theology is articulated, preached and written. Biblical theology should be Christ-centered. Ultimately, the aim of theology is worship. As Dr.Sam Storms writes in his article, "The Ultimate Aim of Theology", 'The ultimate goal of theology is not knowledge, but worship. If our learning and knowledge of God do not lead to the joyful praise of God, we have failed. We learn only that we might laud. Another way of putting it is to say that theology without doxology is idolatry. The only theology worth studying is a theology that can be sung. Jonathan Edwards put it this way:


"Now what is glorifying God, but a rejoicing at that glory he has displayed? An understanding of the perfections of God, merely, cannot be the end of the creation; for he had as good not understand it, as see it and not be at all moved with joy at the sight. Neither can the highest end of creation be the declaring God's glory to others; for the declaring God's glory is good for nothing otherwise than to raise joy in ourselves and others at what is declared" (Miscellanies 3; Yale 13:200)."

The mature Christian can't (and shouldn't) divorce his theology from the love and worship of his Savior. They are interrelated. (Phil. 3:10)

Speaking the Truth in Love,

BradK
