God Mandates Sound Doctrine


"Few churches today attract large crowds because of careful, systematic teaching of the Word. People will flock to churches with great programs for all ages, a well-organized sports schedule, or to hear professional-level music, but sound doctrine holds little attraction. Yet it is sound doctrine that God mandates. Lives are not changed by programs and entertainment; they are transformed by the renewing of our minds that can only come through exposure to the truth of God's Word (Romans 12:2)"

Gary E.Gilley, editorial in Personal Freedom Outreach's "The Quarterly Journal," Jan-Mar 2010.

    The teaching of sound doctrine is not likely to produce the kind of growth that impresses people, but it will produce healthy, steady growth. In the human body, healthy tissue grows slowly, but cancer grows rapidly. The same is generally true in the body of Christ.
