What's Your Theological Worldview?

The truth is that most people today do not choose their church according to doctrines or theology. At the same time everyone is a theologian. According to Stanley J. Grenz and Roger E. Olson, Theology is any reflection on the ultimate questions of life that point toward God. [1] So basically, if you have an opinion about God and the meaning of life, you're a theologian.
