Do
you know God’s Word and Christian doctrine well enough to recognize when
something taught or said is incorrect? I truly believe that as
Believers, it is our obligation, and expectation of the Lord, to continue in
study until we meet our Maker. So I have set out to do just that.
Last year about this time, I took a seminary-style theology class for
women, called Systematic Theology--BIG text book, lots of BIG words, and BIG
thoughts about God. But I LOVED it, and have continued the classes each
semester since. The teacher warned the class last year that one of the
"side effects" of learning to think and filter the world through
correct biblical theology is that theological errors will begin to jump out at
us. That has been a very interesting thing to have happen. A
few beloved Christian books and worship songs have been forever changed for me.
I don't like that, really. But now that I know, I don't want to use
those songs to sing "incorrect" praises to my Lord, nor will I
recommend those books. Another reality of studying Theology like this
is that the more I learn, the more I understand just how much I don't
know. But that just spurs me on! We can truly NEVER know and
learn all there is to know about God.
