Theology - Digging Deeper done rightly

I seen an excellent quote over at on earth as in heaven blog. It lets us see what Theology done rightly actually does for us, I hope that all of us involved with Digging Deeper at PEC experience this!

Christian theology is specifically charged with the task of making problematic our relationship with God, of presenting God to ourselves and others in such a way as to be confronted with a person who cannot be conformed to the narrow and sinful precincts of our own longings, expectations, and concepts. The God who comes to us in revelation is not a projection, but a person. He wrestles us to the ground, takes away our pride, and leaves us walking away from the match with a limp so that we will never forget the encounter.

Here is Tullian's helpful thoughts on the above quote:

Mike’s profound point is that, far from putting God into a box, theology done right actually destroys our little boxes and shows us that God is God and we are not; He is big and we are small. Theology reminds us that there is no God but God and to encounter him is to be forever changed!
