What If?
What If?- Led by Mark Seager
Doctrine. The word has connotations like “dry-as-dust”, boring, and impractical to many of us. But the reality is that we act on we believe. In other words doctrine is the foundation from which our words and action stand on. So it makes sense that right doctrine leads to right living.
Too many churches bury their statement of beliefs in their literature as though it’s a boring appendix. But the items defined in our statement of beliefs are too important to ignore. Our statement of beliefs articulates the basic underpinnings of Bible believing, Jesus-living Christianity. It’s the “faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints.” (Jude 3) But chances are if you’ve been around church world a long time familiarity breeds complacency.
But imagine this. What if we really believed the things we say we believe? What if we took the time to think through the implications and applications of our Statement of Beliefs? If we really believed the things we say we believed our lives would be turned upside down!
