Should I Rethink My Theology? (a Flowchart)

theology

Next time you’re talking about God, stop and listen to the words coming out of your mouth. Does the person you’re describing sound like an asshole? If so, consider it an invitation to rethink your theology.

I know how scary that can be, like being lost at sea without a compass, or a map, or an anchor, or a boat.

But when you find yourself in that sea, may these words can be the first star pointing you toward home:

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God.

Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 

This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 

Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 

No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.”

– I John 4
