Christianity is a religion which requires thinking. Wisdom is a call throughout the bible.
One of the great issues in the church today is a refusal to think. Religion is often a formula. Once the formula is created properly you simply live according to the formula.
The reality of life is that living as a faithful follower of Jesus in this world requires thought. The thought does not need to be highly original or apart from the writing and wise council of other thinking Christians.
But thought is required. We need to always realize that the answers are at times difficult and beware of easy solutions and quick fixes to the problems of the day.

Part of the loss of thinking is because we do not understand the "heart" of the Bible. http://textsincontext.wordpress.com/2012/06/21/the-great-commandment-heart-and-mind/
Thanks Michael. It is very true. It is easy to confuse what is less central in the Christian faith from what is more central at times.
