R.C. Sproul said it beautifully:
“No Christian can avoid theology. Every Christian is a theologian. Perhaps not a
theologian in the technical or professional sense, but a theologian nevertheless.
The issue for Christians is not whether we are going to be theologians but
whether we are going to be good theologians or bad ones.“[1]
Vibration theology is not something that is discussed on Sunday mornings. A
vibration theology has implications about how one lives. Vibration theology makes
God the hero. He is the one who makes everything right, who bestows hope, and
who bestows any good gift. This is fundamental and, when grasped, would
permeate every aspect of our lives. e This is why Martin Luther's theology impacts
how Christians live out their religion in their professions, homes, and cultures.
Luther taught, “God doesn’t need your good works, but your neighbor does.”[2] The
great theology that is correctly taught and whose work liberates us from sin also
liberates us to work for our neighbor's good. If your theology may not have
consequences for your ordinary, everyday life, it might be time to seek out a new
theological paradigm.
