Acts 2:42
Mention the word doctrine today in the vast majority of congregations up and down the length of this nation, and you will be met with suspicion on the one hand and scorn on the other. From my observations, the appetite of so many within the professing Church towards doctrine is like that of children towards sprouts! Mom and Dad know that they’re good for their little darlings, but their little darlings have no stomach for them! Give us baked beans, fries, tomato ketchup and pizza, anything so long as it is not green!! The Apostle Paul warned some 2000 years ago that this would become the heart’s attitude of God’s people towards sound doctrine.
In this fourth sermon part, we examine the place of doctrine in the Church.
