Bible Doctrine Quotes

“..two forces kill old trees: the rot within that is caused by many diseases; and then of course, there are the storms and forest fires. There are plenty of diseases that create rot [in the church]: the hollowing out of Bible doctrine, the strife between members, and the lack of urgency. And failure to feel the weight of the momentous task we have been given. All of this is evidenced by the casualness of many Christians; their stinginess in giving; and their lack of vision beyond themselves. Add to that our self-righteousness and lack of transparency, and no wonder we are not having the impact we should. Then there is the unwillingness of churches to discipline members who have drifted from the faith and live in open rebellion.”

“From within the Scriptures, we see not only the character behind God's words but the power of God's words, showing us that what God speaks is equivalent to our reality. This is true of both the natural and the spiritual worlds in which we live. (p. 99)”

“It is not true to say that God is unable to be understood, but it is true to say that he cannot be understood fully or exhaustively.”

“The increasing social and political activism of today's church seems paradoxical, if not hypocritical, alongside its careless regard of doctrinal purity. The unwillingness of its leaders to involve themselves in the necessary process of correcting one another can only encourage the growing contempt for truth. The resultant blindness is evident in that fact that at the same time they are waging an important battle against pornography, abortion, and homosexuality, many Christian leaders are giving their blessing to the equally evil and more seductive elements of humanistic psychology that are infecting the church. In its zeal to selectively impose biblical standards upon the world, the church is neglecting the only sure foundation for morality -- its commitment to sound theology -- and thereby assuring its own moral corruption.”
