"I've come to learn that theology matters. And it matters not because we want a good grade on a test but because what we know about God shapes the way we think and live. What you believe about God's nature - what He is like, what He wants from you, and whether or not you will answer to Him - affects every part of your life. Theology matters, because if we get it wrong then our whole life will be wrong." Josh Harris, Dug Down Deep.Looking back over my life with Christ, nothing has been more encouraging, liberating, strengthening or useful for correcting me than theology. And correct theology comes from a proper study of God's Word, a proper understanding of God's Word. Orthodox theology isn't a stuffy, eggheaded course of study only for denizens of universities, it is, can be, should be, the blessed pursuit of every child of God. Theology is gazing intently into the law that gives freedom and becoming transformed into the likeness of our loving Redeemer.
