I read an important point this morning about doctrinal discernment in the church.
In our day deception has become all the easier to arrange because so many Christians are no longer greatly shaped by Scripture. It is difficult to unmask subtle error when it aligns with the culture, deploys spiritual God-talk, piously cites a passage or two, and “works.” — D.A. Carson
This Sunday night in the membership class I will be covering RBC’s doctrine and direction. Those two things are not coupled for outline or alliterative purposes. Doctrine and direction are inextricably joined. Our direction is determined by our doctrine. The church’s methodology gives visible expression to her theology. We will or will not be about this or that as a church because of the truths we believe. Pray for our elders and teachers and members to embrace sound doctrine. In this way RBC will be about that which pleases the Lord.
