Sound Doctrine & Orthodox Christians - Back to Basics...
THERE IS, I BELIEVE, A BASIC INGREDIENT which is largely lacking in Christianity today, and the lack of it is the source of most of our problems... It is my absolute conviction that most of us miss this most obvious and most repeated message, even while laying great emphasis on "sound doctrine." Well, I would like to ask you, "What is sound doctrine?" We have long discussions on the Second Coming, on the Atoning Work of Christ, on the Church, the Holy Spirit, etc., etc. But what about love and humility and brokenness? These usually go into a separate category, but I want to tell you that if your doctrine does not include love and humility and brokenness, then your doctrine is not sound.
There are thousands, even millions, of people who claim to be "orthodox Christians" because they cling to a certain set of beliefs in accord with the Bible. They are aware that they do not practice much humility, but they do not think that makes them any less orthodox. They are aware that they do not really love the brethren in Christ (especially those who are different from them), but that does not cause them to think their doctrine is not sound.
About the basic Message, read all the article by George Verwer.
