Theology and Church are Two Things?

One major problem in churches today is that they like to separate theology from church activities, sermons, worships and Sunday Schools. They fail to see the fine line between theology and philosophy.

Theology is the seeking of God, seeking of His will. Learning of the relationships between God and His creations.

Those who said no to theology are actually those who are practicing unjust principles be it subconsciously or not.

I've seen it so many times, because of no firm theological study, problems arise in churches. When problems come, the churches, without any wise and true understanding of God's words, either retire from the problems or go to the extreme. Allowing the problems to grow and mutate. Take the cases of divorces and homosexualism in USA for instance.

When this happens, what's left are those non-Christians whom under the grace of God are given general wisdom of righteousness, stepping in to solve the problems. Even though not perfect, but the problems are solved nonetheless. Everyone would start to admire the non-Christian's standpoint, while all the Christians could do were to only say: "but we have Jesus, we have the true love here" and implode within, not able to do God's great commission by expansion.
