Doxologist ContentTheology and Doxology
Some good words here on the relationship between theology and doxology from Shai Linne who is involved in an Acts29 church plant in Philly called Epiphany Fellowship.
“Theology should always lead to doxology. And doxology should always be informed by good theology. Theology that doesn’t lead to doxology is dead orthodoxy. Doxology that doesn’t spring from good theology is idolatry. Both extremes dishonor God. The greatest commandment in the law as laid out by the Lord Jesus, is this:
“Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ ” (Mark 12:29-30)’”
Thanks for this. Never thought about it clearly like this and the commandment is exactly what the paragraph is saying. Seems so easy to forget that theology by itself is nothing - gotta love the Lord, too, and express it in our lives.
