Doctrinal Blobdom

David Alan Black / Dave Black Online:
The person who masters the Word of God will apply it in his daily life. This is the teaching of such passages as Eph. 2:8-10 and 2 Tim. 3:16-17. Right doctrine without right practice (especially love of the brethren) is next to worthless. This is not to minimize doctrine. On the contrary. There are many professing Christians who use Christian language while altering the essential nature of the Christian faith. It is not only liberal theologians who are subverting Christianity by turning it into a totally different religion that is more acceptable to their tastes. True Christianity differs from all other religions in that it contains doctrine – truth claims based on the knowledge and understanding of the Word of God. True Christians cannot, therefore, reject or trivialize the central role of truth.
