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