There is a paradox in the United States and Western society. You can get over 20 different versions of the Holy Bible in print, audio, digital downloads, computer programs and phone apps. We have more Bibles available today than at any other time in human history. Yet, Biblical literacy is at lows not seen since, perhaps, the start of the Reformation! A few examples of this ignorance are in order.
Sodom and Gomorrah were husband and wife according to over half of graduating high school seniors.
‘God helps those who help themselves’ is in the Bible as per 80% of Americans.
Less than 50% of adults can name all four gospels of the New Testament.
Six out of ten Americans cannot name five of the Ten Commandments.
Given that our culture is, in large part, based on the principles and precepts found in the Bible, this is sad. However, the church today is only slightly better than society as a whole. This is tragic! There was a time when all Christian denominations had a catechism. It was basic instruction in the Bible and Christian doctrine.
For at least a generation, sound Biblical doctrine has been minimized and/or ignored with the net results being scores of Christians in ‘spiritual diapers.’ It is like trying to ride a bicycle with a defective front wheel, at best, and no front wheel, at worst. Either way, you do not get to the desired destination.
Biblical doctrine is the front wheel of bicycle of the Christian Life; it provides direction. (The Holy Spirit is the back wheel providing the power.) This book is a call to pastors and churches to return to preaching and teaching of Biblical doctrine. It is a challenge to every Christian to understand basic Biblical doctrine and grow in grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ.
“Doctrine is Vital: Essential Food for Christian Living” gives the Biblical reasons why doctrine is important, with supporting Scriptures in their proper context, in our everyday lives. This is NOT a dry theological study, but an easy to read book with illustrations, stories, and fresh insights. It may be what you are looking for in order to have a deeper relationship with God.
My desire is for every child of God to become an “Epic of God’s amazing grace!” If I may use a quote from my first book, “Becoming God’s Epic” ‘You cannot become God’s Epic without knowing God’s Word!’
May the Lord bless and keep you as you walk down life’s path.
