True but, if you are a Christian then essentially there is no choice about whether you’re a theologian or just ’someone who goes to church’, the question is actually, are you a theologian with good theology or bad theology.

Bob Kauflin has written a book, which from what I can gather speaks through the theology of worship, it’s on my wishlist and as with most books on my wishlist I’d love to read it sometime when I have the money to buy it and/or time to read it. Until that time, here’s a quote from it I found on Zach Neilsen’s site about how doctrine just makes life simpler:

Theology and doctrine make life simpler. They protect us from reading verse out of context, restricting our diet to our favorite passages, and making decisions based on impulse rather than truth. They put meat on concepts we tend to use mindlessly like, glory, gospel, salvation, and love. They help us understand what we’re actually doing every Sunday. What complicates life is not doctrine but ignorance of doctrine.
