If Life's a journey, then there must be a destination. Where are you headed?
Isaiah 6:3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.

well said. a christian that doesn't do theology is like a chef that doesn't do cooking. it is literally impossible to be a christian and not "do theology". so you might as well do it right.
Sheesh Traever, three times to get the spelling and grammar right? You're slipping man. ;-)
i don't "do typing"
Ah, but you see, everyone who leaves a comment in some way must...wait... oh, I get it!
Not only do our actions reveal our theology, they define our theology. Lex orandi, lex credendi.
Nick: How are you defining "define"?
Do you believe our actions define our theology as in, our actions shape/define our theology, or are you saying that our actions "give definition to" our theology?
I'm not sure I understand the distinction you're making.
My [relatively minor] point is that our actions shape our beliefs as our beliefs shape our actions. Or, to see things in a more holistic way, our actions are actually part and parcel of our theology.
Though I should point out that the Latin phrase I mentioned is more pointedly discussing worship and prayer. We believe as we worship (I think prayer can rightfully sit under that term).
Just reading a little in Proverbs tonight, I thought vss. 20-33 are rather clear about the importance of biblical wisdom, knowledge, counsel, and reproof. I'm not sure, but it would seem that someone who doesn't "do theology" or "study" could be bringing much hurt upon themselves, according to vss. 26-32.
Well, my problems with google are yet unresolved, so I can't post comments with my username.
