Sound Doctrine
Many today dismiss the importance of doctrine – opting instead for:
- opinions,
- emotional experiences
- or the everchanging community expectations.
But let’s be reminded in this lesson of the vital importance of sound doctrine.
1. The source of sound doctrine
2. The effects of sound doctrine
“Sound doctrine” = “healthy teaching”.
- Anything else is regarded as “a different doctrine” (1Tim. 6:3) or “strange doctrines” (1Tim. 1:3).
Sound doctrine saves lives, nourishes churches and brings glory to God.
- 1:5 But the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.
Sound doctrine: Know it, speak it, live it, defend it.
Sound doctrine saves lives!
