January &
February's
Edition focuses on Doctrine |
|
|
There
seems to be a great deal of controversy about “doctrine”. To
those outside the Church the mere mention of the word conjures up
visions that range from “outdate historical notions” to
“things that Christians fight over”. It does not fair much
better inside many churches. Today it the mention of doctrine
seems to carry an almost negative connotation to it. There are
many prominent leaders inside of Christianity today who make an
impassioned plea for us to ignore doctrine and just “love
Jesus”. Are these valid requests? Is God the one behind all of
this? Is doctrine on its way out? We hear comments such as, “let
the body of Christ come together”, and “leave your doctrine
and return to Jesus” resonating in the messages of many pulpits
and songs today.

Denominational Report Card
http://www.christianarsenal.com/Demrpt.htm
People often complain that the average everyday citizen does not know
what the US Congress and Senate are doing with our money in Washington. As much as we don't like it, we just can not control a great
portion of what our government wastes our money on. Would it surprise
you to find out that there are literally millions of Church members that
give to Churches, Denominations and various ministries and that do not
know how their Denomination stands on issues.
